Hi everyone,

Here is a single shot of the work carried out so far on converting the ICM Type XXIII to represent one of the Post WWII U-Boots used by the Federal German Navy. As you can see the work on the enlarged GHG and "Bugnase" is as good as complete on one of the two examples I am building, the other has the extended tower.

I still intend to get a fourth kit and model the boat in its final form which means the extended tower as well as extending the hull by a scale 1.2 metres.
