Cheers Alan Me to. All the parts and pieces are here, so finishing it up really shouldn't be that big of a deal, really. It's the Type VIIC/41 kit. alaninaustria 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 OK, all images now replaced;... no more PB watermarked images (at least in this thread, anyway). LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 For whatever it's worth, here's a shot of my first big Revell U-boat, the Type VIIC. I was so anxious to get this into the display case, that I only painted the port side; the starboard side was still bare plastic in this photo.

dodgem37 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 That is fantastic. I love that! Could we get some detail shots? You have a long bench. I barely have room for the Rex, let alone a 3 foot U-Boat. Sincerely, Mark Bill_S, LSP_K2 and alaninaustria 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I was very anxious to just get it into the display case.) That old bench was roughly 6' x 3', whereas my new benches here will be 8' x 8'.

LSP_K2 Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 As I suspected, nothing in the way of real detail shots, just various angles and such. While I was perfectly happy with this one, I intend for the one in the bunker to be a whole lot nicer. ringleheim and Gazzas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaninaustria Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 That’s a really nicely done Uboot Kev - I hope you found time to paint the other side too?? Cheers Alan LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alaninaustria Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 That has to be the oddest thing I have ever heard!! Why only one side?? Cheers Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Alan It was only ever intended to be displayed port side out, so no one would ever see the starboard side once it was in my case, therefore no need to paint it. To me, it's kind of like not painting the interior of armor kits, which I also never do, since nobody will ever see the interior of those kits anyway. The U-Boat for this bunker display will be painted everywhere though (on the exterior), as it will eventually be "show bound", and I don't dare risk areas being visible that are not painted and skanked up.
