AAaaarrrggghhhhh!!!!
Stop throwing monkey wrenches into my potato salad!! Next you'll be telling me that paint supply problems mean she might not have been freshly chipped and painted after her final training cruise; thus, went to sea all rusty and cruddy.

The build is going slowly, but well. I've never attempted to add this much detail to a plastic model before. For current pics, check out the link in my sig. Will be adding some pics tomorrow.

Good question actually. According to uboat.net U-297 arrived from its training cruise in 31 Oct and departed to its patrol in 1 Nov. I doubt that crew had time for anything else but critical maintenance. EDIT: Ooops... my bad it says "front boat" not patrol. What that actually means? EDIT2: I missed that 25 Nov date when I first read you original post. Found that date later myself too after little googling.

Operation Petticoat! I watched that as a kid.
I'd be indebted to you for a translation of the letter by Aldegarmann.  Everything else I could pretty much figure out. Thank you sir!
