U-boot type VII.C scale 1/75

Hi everyone!

I have made another model, a U-boot type VII.C in scale 1/75. I used the Fly Model 128 as blueprints.





I wanted to make it bigger, so I remeasured the whole stuff. Now it’s 91cm long.

Actually it is not a regular U-boot type VII.C. The type VII.C never had any bigger deck guns on the front. Only the type VII.A had net cutter on the nose, it had had only one AAGun, and never had that big AA platform like the type VII.C.
So this is just my version. Never existed a type VII U-boot with this armament, as far as I know.

It was relatively easy, compared to the “Oyodo”. It is made from paper of different thickness. I used mostly 1mm and 2mm thick paperboard.

Here are some pictures.
















































Thank you for every comments!

Bye folks!

Great stuff! I have this kit and wondered how well it went together. Your work has inspired me to take another look at it!
Wonderful!
