Sorry for the misunderstanding

I know I know .
But remember this my friend , you live in England , and I live in Norway .
In my country , is a huge different in prices regarding plastickits, it's very very vey expensive country ,, one example , your Revell 1/72 scale VIIC , in my country it cost 60£ ( 625 NORWEGIAN KRONES )

That kit in England cost 50 £.

Here in Spain it costs about 70 Euro

I guess that's because the UK and Norway are not in the Euro zone ... some drawback had to be somewhere

I give up

But we can be agree that those prices are expensive
when it comes to plastic kits

Hi everyone

Almost finished gluing the sub , so now is close to airbrushing

Looks good so far, I see you decided to paint after guling it all

I glued the hull and painted it, then painted the deck separatedly and glued it. The Conning tower also has been worked on separately, and will be glued in the end.

I found out that some partes were too difficult to paint after gluing, like f.e. the platform of the conning tower

so I had to paint first and then glue.

Pity you are not drilling the holes in the hull, looks excellent, though I recon it's a huge work.

Keep us updated.
