Hi!
welcome aboard Subsim, matey :ping:

Dont worry, your english is just fine :up: the model too, good job for a firt attempt. I havent done Uboat models myself but I can guarantee that my very first Aircraft model looked well...eh...:hmm: never saw a spitfire with puke brown / Green painted camo colour in any reference book but...but hey! you have to start somehwere ;)

my craftman ship has improved by then, but many models gone to waste due accidents happen to them, so took a break and now I'm getting back into it.

my latest work finished if you're interested:

Wow, nice Stuka HunterICX. I can see many details. You had a lot of work isn't it?
Right now Im working with another U-boat modell. This time it is a 1:72 scale type
VIIC/41. When it will be done i will give photos of this giant :)

Welcome to Subsim Lucass 1613. It looks ok.
Only thing i dont like / not a criticism- more personal preference :yep: / is the absence of the swastika on the battle flag.

Yes that's right. I think it was my fault that i used that flag from revell. My 1/72 scale type VIIC/41 will definitely have a self-made battle flag with a swastika.

Weird- im sure the kit i had the look at in the shop few months ago had the swastika on the flag. Can it be it differs from country to the other?
I know Germany are prety strict in this matter.
Where did You get Your kit?

Yes you're right. In Germany usually they don't have swastikas on flags. I bought
my kit in London and i was suprised about absence of the swastika on the battle flag.
Any way this time i need to make one by myself ;). Thans for Your opinion about my u-boat.
A little edit: I will use this flag, it is just ready to print ;)

Wink Is Your man.
He knows thing or two about U-boats, and designed some good replacement flags for various scale models. Check `em out:

While there dont forget to have glance at the now finished U-557. ;)

Whoah! That is a great site! I was looking for something like that. Thanks a lot mate:up:

I'm with the others: your u-boat looks fine.

WELCOME ABOARD!:sunny:

Welcome aboard, and a nice U-Boat model you have.

Thanks,

the model took me a year, but its because in summer I dont work on scale models due the high temperatures.

Wow one year... A lot of time. Maybe some day you will make a u-boat? That would be great!

I like very much your model, and the only thing I would have personally done a bit different -though it's a matter of taste- is put a darker shade of grey in the underwater part of the hull :up:

Very nice models :up:
