Hi everyone.
I thought I would start this build log of the latest project,
U-Don's 1/100 VII-C u-boat.
This is my 2nd ship build and the largest to date. Still a lot to learn, but having fun with the build.

U-don?

Is this Uhu02's model?

Doesn't look like Kooklik's U-boat.

Looks like you got the skins in place and thats a major step.

Hi Dave.
Thank you.
No this is by U-Don's Factory, another artist in Japan who puts some of his models out for free.

wow, a third Type VII U-boat?
I don't think I knew about this one.
Nice.
I like the artwork.

Odd that both Uhu and U-don followed with the same U-boat as Kooklik?
(boy theres a lot of U's in that sentence! lol)

I downloaded this model. It has very good artwork and looks like it should be a clean build. My problem has been the A4 format. I can't get my acrobat to not crop off the edges even when I try to reduce slightly the scale. So no build for me.

Try Foxit reader?

Nice start on the ship, Jim.

Thanks Legion and Jagolden01.
Paperfan, you could reduce it in your printer like I did, and got consistent results. I used 95%.

I have it printed in 1:200, I just don't know when I will build it. I'm watching your progress
