Revell 1/72 Type IXc U-Boat, U-505 Capture June 1944.
Built out of box. First time using salt treatment. The conning tower is insignia blue, ya, I couldn't belive it too but according to a couple of sites this was the color. Figures are from Czech Masters with some modification.
2 additional images. Click to enlarge.
