    My U96 1/72 Project

    Since I saw Das Boot as a kid I liked german U boats, then I always wanted to make a large scale U boat, finally got my hanbds on Revell´s 1/72 type VIIC model, and I am working on it.

    never made a boat on these scale, yet I think it si not coming out that badI have to worke on the cabels, and the crew, but here is my U boat at a90% completion













    Some of the photos I used for reference:



















    Will post more pics after I finish the cables and the crew!!!

      Unfortunatelly no, I just used the kit as it came i just bought the andreas figures, the deck watch set and the gun crew deck, I also had to piant the smiling swordfish emblem as I could get any other extra accesories.

        Beautiful model, congrats!

        Is it difficult to build a model like that?

        I have never made any model before, should I start with a easier one?

          To tell you the truth, the model itself is eassy to build, , just the small parts like hand rails, the 88 and the 20mm offer a small chalance as it had a lot of mold lines, but nothing that cajses problems.

          The painting of the model is evrything!!!!

          There are also some nice accesories ot there, but I belive that this model has been discontinued but yoy can still find it in E bay or in the Web.

          There si also another late type VII C, the type XXIII and XXI availbale in 1/72 scale, never seen the type IX in these scale

                  Excellent work, you have really captured an authentic look

                  I have made U Boats on smaller scales but not as good a finish as yours!

                          Since I hand not made a 1/72 since my early teens, I really didnt know how to begin, I was to used to 1/6 figuers, yet I think I used about two to three coats of paint, with gouge and oil colors
