This week I covered the underwater side of the ship. This Uboat is based in the Model Kartonowy nr 10, rescaled to 1/350.
There are two observations: first, it's very important to reinforce the external tanks near the conning tower because there are the ones were the fingers will naturally tend to press when moving the model. And second, one of the external tanks parts has the wrong width, an MUST be remade from scratch.
As always with my models, I included some lead to prevent capsizing and the model is going to be sanded and painted.
The original paper model shows the underwater color as green, which is dubious at best. The most probably right color is dark grey (Schiffbodenfarbe III Grau)
