Thanks for posting Kpt. Otto

How cool would that have been if spoken in English

I had come across a Revell kit for a 1:50 scale U.S. Gato class sub in a hobby store in Delaware a while ago. I think it was up for sale at just over $100. Tempting, yet I had to pass. Once I get to the Pacific & SH4 someday, maybe I'll wish I had grabbed it.

wow, thanks for posting. that brings back memories, when my dad and I did those models together, then I moved on and did my own. we did a B-24, -25 and a -17 and he taught me how to put bullet holes in the fuselage. way cool. when I go back east I'll post up some pics, or if I get back into it. watching the video makes me want to do it. he's got some great ideas. I like how he weathered the paint and showed rust on the hull. great job.

Now if only he spoke English!

I'm about 5% done with mine, but who's in a hurry!

It brought back memories for me too. I still have some of the models I made when I was 14, 15 or 16 years old. Mostly I made armoured vehicles and lots of them! ...Ive got a model of HMS Suffolk floating about round here somewhere...

I know its a bit off subject but heres a photo of the models I have left of that time when I was just a wee lad in short trousers!!

I reckon I am going to get my brushes out again sometime this year. A new years resolution me thinks!!

that looks good, Otto. Primer really does the job of taking the gloss way doesn't it? nice detail on the uniforms too.
