Great Work tedhealy!!!!! :up: Nice weathering on the VIIC as well.

Nice work:up:

A question.

The 3 tubes under the Machine guns on each wing... are they 150mm or 175mm recoilless rifels or rocket launchers?

They're rocket launchers. T-bolts and Mustangs carried them toward the end of the war.

I don't build models as often as I once did. Here's my most recent, an F-100D Supersabre I made for my father-in-law (former F-100 pilot with the 79th TFS).

Some superb models here.Where do you get the time to make them.I have a wooden ship kit in my loft that I haven't been able to do any work on for over two years.

I'm building the Academy Type IXB right now (kind of a crummy kit...only 1 propeller!? U-boats had 2 screws! :nope:). If it turns out well, I'll post pics.

I'm getting back into modelling for the first in about 15 years, and so I figured that'd be a nice inexpensive kit to get my feet wet with before I try tackling the Revell Type VII.

I've got the book "Type VII U-Boats: Shipcraft" by Roger Chesneau on order from Amazon and it's yet to arrive. Does anyone else have this one? If so, how is it?

Here's my most recent(finished it last Friday that is friday the 13th)
I've posted her to several other forums so you probably have noticed her somewhere else. I hope you enjoy the pics as much as i do. And sorry for the background clutter.

apologies for my language that I,m going to put next:

GOD DAMN! that look Awesome!

really you really have a steady hand right there :rock:

nice piece of artwork there. I wish I could do that.

anyway I,m about to pick up the phase of modeling too soon.
but I,m all in for Airplanes :up: WW2 era ofcourse, maybe I do some WW1 too

Great looking u-boat Castout :up:

Are those after market parts on the conning tower?

What are the 4 raised pieces near the bow?

Any luck with this Castout?

All parts are stock parts/vanilla Revell's 1/72

The four raised piecesnear the bow are actually life rafts/place to keep the life rafts. This is not modelled in SH3 as SH3 use the same model of generic VIIB/VIIC to represent VIIC/41.

Still looking for appropiate thread. Thinking abt using copper wires but it would look kinky. Abt fixing the thread unto the hull well either superglue or an eyebolt will do it.

btw the port side gray chip above the front saddle tank is not a paint chip. It's not there on the actual model i wonder why it's there on the photograph at all. And the two starboard gray dashes somewhere above the bow planes are actually reflections they're dark blue in actual model. very dark blue.

@Hunter ICX glad you like it. i'm gonna put her(custom built order) encase with acrylic case and a wooden base with nameplate. But got to do the rigging first. If i ever

Here's a bit of me and my fathers stash
