Dolphin II class submarine, scale 1/400

[strk]

Today I start new build: Israeli Dolphin II class submarine. State-of-the-art sub, AIP system, armed to teeth, equipped with 533mm and 650mm tubes, capable of launching land attack cruise missiles and anti-ship missiles.
True Rahav hidden in the depths...


Dolphins base on German U212 SSKs, but f you will take a closer look, it will come out that overall silhouette is more similar to U214 than U212.
Unlike the other projects, this time first element is the conn - its rounded edges are not easy to made of paper. Here's the sequence:














stay tuned!
