Pete Vill (PeteV) has made an impressive 1/400 display of three U-Boot types:
- Type IX D2
- Type VII-B
- Type II

We can get a good notion of differences between the classes, Coastal and Oceanic
Enjoy

Very nice! I was actually going to do something similar. I'm currently working on my 2nd 1/144 boat and I also have the minelayer, so it should come out nice...... once I finish them.

Hi Pete,

All came out really well (as usual ) and a great idea in the first place.
Looks even better in real life.

Looking forward to see your type XXIII project finished and mounted.
May be another future feature eh .

All the best

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the kind comments regarding my handy work.

I will say that these first attempts at modelling submarines have been a very pleasant experience for me, made all the more so by the friendly welcome and numerous offers of advice to a boating novice, this is the most welcoming modelling site I have come across todate, thanks.

Hell its Friday night, the wifes out and as Vic knows I like a drink so I raise a pint of cool not cold English beer to you all.



PeteV




Oh well, too much again
