Thanks Markus. =) I don't know anyone with a pool right now. I'm still looking for a good place to test it when the weather warms up.

OK the paint work is all finished. I used some various colors of ground up pastels mixed with flat clear acrylic paint to finish the rust and deck weathering and blending of colors. Then I added the scum line by airbrusing a hazy dark green line at the waterline, then a lighter hazy green line over that one, and finally a very very light green (almost white) over that. This is to simulate algae growth and accumulation of minerals, salt, etc...

You have passed the modelling builder with an A+.
Only little setback is the weathering-It somehow looks logic in where you have added the rust to the sub. a more chaotic approach. Nevertheless You can be darn proud of you build. Markus

Thanks Markus. As for the rust, believe it or not I looked at photos of real u-boats and mostly put it in places I saw in the photos. Though I agree it could look better.

Gwen, its looking really good and I'm not saying that just because I'm jealous.
![]() ![]() Have you thought about being able to "set" the dive planes for surface trim? You'll need to putt around in a pool or small pond to find the best balance, but I'm wondering if you could set up a couple of null zones with your controller for surfaced and dived trim on the planes? ![]() BTW, how about that other "model"? ![]() ![]() |

My airplane is actually a 3/4 scale replica. The engine is a Volkswagen 1915cc 69 HP flat four with a custom aircraft carb and electronic ignition. It has a 2:1 reduction belt drive turning a 72" custom made replica wood prop. Here are a few videos for you taken during my 2007 test flights, note the guy talking is my friend and former flight instructor Bill. He was talking to the camera really and not directly to me since I didn't have a radio in the airplane when I was test flying it. https://youtu.be/6XIPPYdKIdU Gwen
