Well this was suposed to be made in plastic, but because I am behind schedule in several model projects in my work shop in terms of materials and supplys which are in rute and it seem is taking forever to arrive, this is what happens when in my country the "scale modeler" hobby shop has gonne the way of the DOO,DOO!!
Now I have to import everything and because of paints,glues,puttys,plastics and resins are considered dangerus items they come by ship or something similar, I have about 8 diferent material orders in "rute".....this is killing me, do any one have this same problem of supply with the overseas distributors?
I end up making this U-boat deck gun mostly in brass, is not perfect and a lot of small details are still waiting to be added or fabricated but at least I have been able to keep something going on the work shop. The final cleaning/blending of joint/solder is next.
This is for my full hull static display U-boat type VIIC model, the conning tower you see in the pictures is the new scrachtbuilt one I did for the model, since the fiberglass one included in the original kit was out of scale and shape for a Type VIIC. The conning tower is mostly styrene plastic with some parts in home made resin and metal/brass. if nothing arive this week.....a lot of brass detailing will end in the C. tower to
.
And Jacques.......I have'nt forgoten you, waiting to finish some things and then your project up-date will be on your way.
Hope you like this, it was quite an "adventure in soldering" making this deck gun in 1/35 scale......my hat off to the guys who make those amazing guns in brass fron scracht in even smaller scale, just incredible, mine look like junk compared with them
