Happy New Year to all,

As you can see I have now applied some weathering to my model of a Type XXIII in Federal German Navy Service, this boat will be mounted (later today, I hope) with the example showing it in WWII German Navy service, the other two models (XXIII with modified conning tower and later hull extended type 240) will also mounted together hopfully illustrating one boat during its service life.

Nice Job, Pete!

You've done a really good job with this project, mate. . .very impressive!

My wife has also been following along with your updates, and guess what she had me order her the other day?. . .ICM's 1/144 XXIII so she can try her hand at one!

Keep the updates coming, mate, and Keep Modeling!

Excellent Pete
;) (as expected)

Once you have made the mounting of all three subs, a MOD feature is requested
