Hi!
Im new user of this forum. I would like to show you, my U-boat modell Revell U-96 in 1:44 scale. It is my first u-boat modell so please don't be too much rigorous.
I hope you'll like it. BTW sorry for my English

Hi!
welcome aboard Subsim, matey

Dont worry, your english is just fine

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:

Canon Bird Stuka JU87 G1

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

/ is the absence of the swastika on the battle flag.

lukass1613 · 06-26-08, 05:09 PM

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?

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
