Thank You very much for opinions. Unfortunately, I am not so happy with these effects... Weathering is far from being pefect and I am not too optimistic about final result...

Yowsa! That's some great detail. The battle mode lighting, love it!

Good grief!! If I didn't know better I's swear this was a real boat! You give a whole new meaning to the term "Master Modeller". This is fantastic!

I'm loving the progress you're making on this Kraut pigboat, m8...

She looks a treat!

Fellow Modellers, I need some help here. I can't find anywere the answer to my question which is:

During the alarm, in which sections the regular lights are being replaced with red light?

Thanks in advance for help.

Front torpedo section is practically finished:

I have also added electrical lights:

And the battle/alarm mode:

I am one step from closing the torpedo section so here are some photos. After closing the roof of the section the access will be quite limited. That's unfortunate because a lot of beatiful details will disappear...

Ok,

I know some time has passed since I have started this thread but it is better late than never! :submarine:

I am now back at my workstation with this huge model.

I have started with torpedo section and here are some photos.

Torpedo (I have used different colors than Trumpy has suggested):

Ceiling part of torpedo section:

Wall and passage to soldier rest and radio section:

Lower part of torpedo section - torpedo storage (4 items):

Upper part of torpedo section:

So, how do You think?
I am mostly interested in opinions from fellow modellers concernig the weathering...

For progress we need to wait a bit. This model requires a lot of planning...

It would be a waste indeed, especially the aftermarket you've got. And yes, you definitely need a (five year?) plan to do the whole darn thing justice...

That thing is BIG. I can't wait to see progress.

by **Brett M** » Fri Aug 25, 2017 4:23 pm

Ah, she's big too.....looking forward to seeing your build progress.

Hello again,

as I've suggested in my 'Mo' build thread I am docking U-Boat from Trumpeter in my workshop.

There is not much to show yet but I want to share with You some of the details of the set.

Now is the time to collect photos and check the literature background...
