Hi All,
This is my current project.
A Revell Type VIIC/41 in 1/350.
The submarine was an improved version of the Type VIIc, with the provision for a 'Snorkel' to draw air into the submarine to allow it to recharge its batteries whilst remaining submerged.
Also around its time of introduction, the change of tactic's was to stay up on the surface if caught on the surface, hence German submarines were up gunned to provide extra anti aircraft protection.
The tactic was quite successful and many aircraft were either damaged or shot down during attacks, only superiority in allied numbers/resources degraded the tactic.
Anyway, I have got so far with the build, and have started to add the Eduard etch brass for this kit, and I am happy with the progress so far.
But it is a time consuming progress, as Haddock will agree with his ship models.
Some pictures of the progress to date follow:-
Cheers,
