A couple of Swedish submarines

Post by Orso »

Swedish submarines
I had earlier built the HMS Gotland in 1/350 from OKB Grigorov and started a search for the other Swedish submarine that have been made as a model.

Image
it is HMS V�sterg�tland from Sea Wolf. It took me a couple of years but finally I got one.

Image
It's not a very large kit in 1/350 scale.

The finished kit.

Image
Two of the submarines in this class got modified with Stirling engines and I wanted to build one. I was lucky to find a second kit and could start on one.

Image
This conversion fought me. After all work with putty and sanding was done I managed to break it so I had to glue it together again and start all over.

Image
To finish it I had to make a similar propeller as on the HMS Gotland. (I made it from plastic card and the tip of an aircraft missile)

Image

Here they are together. Gotland, S�dermanland an V�sterg�tland. They are named after provinces in Sweden.

Nice work! Haven't seen too many (any?) Swedish submarine models.

Nice models! Especially I like the conversion.

Do you know the museum of the Swedish navy in Karlskrona? There HMS Neptun (N�cken class) and models of all Swedish submarine classes are shown:
