These are the final convertions of Pete Vill''s Typ XXIII 1/144 U-boats - in their final fitting!
Excellent craftmanship and a beautifull way of showing a lifespan of a vessel.
Thank you for sharing your amazing work, Pete!
Enjoy,
Skipper

I agree with me mate Joe, for sure...Mr. Vill, as always, a hearty Bravo Zulu on this fantastic display of historical variants...just goes to show you what can be done with one specific model kit, alot of time, energy, and most of all talent and artistry!
Thanks Pete for the effort, and thank you, Skip, for the excellent edit!
Cheers,

well, i really like the close-up pics which show the amount of tightness of the builds, as well as the master weathering, this work is really neat!
congratulations for such a collection

That’s weird, I thought I’d already posted here. Must have been torpedoed.
I’ve seen these beauties separately or in pairs but never all together.
Looks really nice Pete. I’ll have to pop over and see them all side by side in real life one day.
Catch you later.
