Cool Kit Marcel.

Started building. It's the most extensive kit I have started sofar. (as you know I'm not a regular builder). Sofar I have made the dive ruders (which are movable) and the support has had its first layer of paint ( I use brushes). Not much to look at, yet.

Good start Marcel.
Ships are not really my 'thing', but I quite fancy a U-Boat model - if I had somewhere to put it !

Looking good so far

Oh! I have drooled, er, looked at the kit for months at my LHS. Will be eagerly following this build!

I have a co-worker friend that was an Exec on a Los Angeles Class 688 Attack boat. To this day he walks with a slight stoop! As he used to say submerging is all too easy, the pain is making sure you can get back to the surface!

It's pretty big, almost half a meter. I'm also curious as how it will turn out. I'm not a real modeller, you know. I average at one model a year. With all the small bits and pieces ( I looked with horror at the decal sheet) I guess this will take a while.

Decals are indeed the bane of model makers! Fussy things!

There are tiny wings at about 1/4 from the front. For whatever reason, the description calls them dive ruders. So I guess it's actually a dive-bomber. Maybe that is also why it is in a pusher configuration.Can't see any gaps to slot the wings into
I like it Marcel

After 2 years I finally started building on this again. It's been lying dormant for almost 2 years. I think I got a little scared by this and I also think it's way above my level as a builder. We'll see where it ends. I might go on, or have another lull of 2 years after this out maybe I'll throw it in the bin, I don't know. Anyway today I spent an hour or two cleaning, glueing and painting and got this far.

Well its a restart. Dont bin it. Perhaps a fellow here will foster this little puppie for you and give it a warm and welcome home

It's looking good Marcel - keep at it.

Nice I like the interior visible unlike a lot of aircraft where a detailed interior vanishes when the fuselage gets glued together
Good work so far Marcel!
