The Ship Model Forum

Hello all,

I'm an 99.99% airplane modeler mostly in 1/48 scale from time to time 1/32 or 1/72, but now I will try with some ships.
first one: Das U Boot

Revell kit 1/350 of U boot type VIIC , with Voyager PE set..
let see how this thing will lool like on the end..

after 1 hour of work...
shape is here..

...

I attach PE parts to plastic with super glue Locttate...

...

I use liquid super glue, when attaching PE parts, first I drop 1 or 2 drops od super glue to the glas plate, prepare needle point tool, I grab part with tweezers, apply super glue with needle and attach, usualy it is enought of supper glue on the pe part to hold part in the position, then just for beeing on the safe side of attaching pe parts I add little amount of glue on few contacts points of plastic and PE. Sometimes I also use white wood glue, but it takes much longer to cure..

This build is FAST..
Painted up today.. lucy it was nice and hot day, so the paint dried quickly..




I hope I had mixed OK paint, hope they are okey match...

...
