U-997 1:72 scale - finished!!!

Swat · 02-17-08, 05:18 PM

Ok,I posted some shots to the screenshot thread,but this 93 cm long giant is finished now (just needed to add some aging),so I thought to create the new thread where you could comment this VIIC/41 and by the way....Is there anybody else interested in U-boat modells?
Anyway....Here we go...!!!

good job it looks great

Swat · 02-17-08, 08:53 PM

Thank all of you,I'm glad you like it.I'd like to build type IX as well,but there's no kit in 1:72,only in 1:144 so in case of type XXI.But there still is yet one kit in this favourite scale and I'll definitely build it one day....and that is Gato Class-130 cm long beast!!!

Those are just the threads on u-boat models. I didn't link to any of the ones on US or Japanese boats, or other ships.

WOW... is that the Revelle Germany Type VIIC Uboat??? Where did you get that conning tower?? Did you buy it, kitbash it, or scratch build it?

Very interesting paint job.... airbrush?

Swat · 02-17-08, 11:17 PM

Exactly!It's Revell 1:72 scale VIIC/41 U-Boot (Atlantic version).The tower is just there,it's just the stock model,no metal or additional parts.The main camouflage (two sorts of grey and white) is made by sprays,the rest by brush,including the meanders.
