This is my first
submarine model, and I think the next will be the Atlantic version of the
famous U-Boat. Mine represents U-552 of Erich Topp. I built some parts in
scratch, mainly on the 88mm deck gun, the torpedo bay and the conning
tower. You can see every details of the step by step here --> http://fighters.forumactif.com/t27970-u-boat-type-vii-c-revell-1-72-maj-27-07-10-termine .
It's a very impressive model (93cm), which was not easy to handle during
building (and photographing !).

Painting and weathering
were something very different compared to what I am used to realize
with aircraft. I think it's not too bad for a first experience.
The only
difficulty is about dimensions, I don't really now where to do it...!
Hoping you like the
photos. Now I'm waiting for a Type XXI in 1/72...
