U 82 Type VIIC

Thank you for your comments, specially yours, Siara!! I´m a fan of your works (well, one should be quite silly not being a fan of your works, you´re a Michelangelo).

In fact, I did damage some rivets making oil canning, but I replaced them with an hypodermic needle applied over a some softened plastic with liquid cement. The result was not bad at all.

I really regret the scarce detail in my conning tower; perhaps I should have purchased the CMK kit for this purpose. Also, I didn´t notice (rather a common error) that the dark grey paint should reach almost the lower free-flood holes, I left it too low.

In any case, I have two more U boats (VIIC and VIIC/41) ready to assembly... and they will be better than this one. Just wait a few... years?, now I´m making a Flower Class Corvette model, just beginning!

Best regards, and waiting for yours U 552 rigging.
