This is the stuff made from a WW2 Merchant Seaman's nightmares... Without the background I would say this is a real Boat. Fantastic! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DocRob 8,762 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 That's a great result and what a difference to the state the boat was in at the beginning. You build and painted an eyecatcher, hard to photograph though, given the dimensions long and sleek. Cheers Rob 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It’s 1/72 scale and appr. 20-25 mm! Can‘t wait to see the rest of the crew and accessories finished. This will add much realism and bring life to your model! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would leave them and the accessories as posted now. Regarding the pose of the crew-member at the Flak I ask myself what he is working at? Maybe you could post a photo of him from the other side. Then it would be easier to see if the pose is ok. Kai 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
