Naval modeling - ships, submarines and boats.
The S-Boote were developed by the german navy in the twenties and were built by the Lürssenwerft. Their long hulls with rounded bottoms gave them sea keeping abilities superior to allied boats, their diesel engines were rugged and [...]

The Scharnhorst was one of the most beautiful ships ever built and she had an interesting and dramatic history at well. During the [...]
Here is my Revell 1:570 KGV. Overall, a fairly high quality kit for 1973, but the fit between the hull and deck is quite poor. I opted for a "classic build" as the level of detail in the original kit would've stood in stark [...]
