Hey!

I'll also try to write here what I'm building...

I last wrote about the 1/350 IJN Akagi years ago!

Now I'm building a 1/72 Type XXI, U-2540. I ordered from RCSubs. Great 3D printed and is resin. Really great details! Lots of photo-etched parts too.

Heippa from Oulu!

Design of that class still looks modern today.
Static model?
Have a nice weekend.

Terveisiä Uudestakaupungista!

Yes, a static model, although it is possible to make even an RC model. It sure looks modern, even though the submarine was made at the end of WWII. I think Type XXI is one of the most beautiful of all. There is only one preserved ship, located in Bremenhaven, Germany. I have been there and it was an impressive submarine.
