U boat type VII C/41 from Revell in scale 1:144
Here is my last project which I have been doing for 4 years on and off. But now the U-Boote type VII C/41 project is finally finished. It became an eternal project with as much joy as frustration. I was ruining this build when I crossed the line instead of making it good. It broke and I had to repair and rebuild etc.
That it went the way it did was because it was the first time I came into contact with photo etch and working with after market parts. It wasn't quite perfect. But from an arm's length away, it looks ok.
Yes, I sometimes felt like the machinist Johan from the movie Das Boot with this build. I really got to feel and test my patience with this build.
There is now a video of my build uploaded on Rumble: https://rumble.com/v5cwnv5-slide-show-7-of-u-boat-type-vii-c41-in-scale-1144-build.html
Also watch my previous videos of my build under "slide shows.." there.
Excellent job and really great result, Leif! Very nice video as well!
Thank you!
This is really impressive, Leif @leifhammar
There is so much detail in this build, for example the loading mechanism of the torpedo.
Well done.
Thank you! It was really a challenge because testing the limits with this build!
