SM U-9

January 9, 2024 · in Ships · · 13 · 345

Hello all,

Here is my attempt at the 1/72 SM U9. I have to say I really enjoyed this kit. It goes together very easily and is engineered well. Most of the effort on this was spent on painting and weathering. I used Model Master and AK paints. Most all of the weathering was done with water colors. I also added RCsubs photo etch set. I would like to thank Tony” The Deck Guy” Quartaro for the base. Thanks for looking.

Rod
