1/35 Type XXVII German midget submarine

[Piet]

While still waiting on spare part from Italeri for my S-Boat
I Build this straight out of the box with a little added detail by myself,excellent kit and fit .
Post shaded this time,
Paints used are from Mr Hobby (acrylic paint)…..I think this is the best paint for airbrushing ..

Pretty awesome, I dig it!

I had an older Seehund model and it was missing it screw,
So what better thing to do with it .....saw it in half
removed all of all its paint (with Mr Muscle oven cleaner)
And gave it one of the more interesting camouflage options.

I just noticed,the turret hatch is the wrong way !

Easy fix.

ldguy Fixed !
New pics will be added soon .

Very nicely done. I love the weathering on the first sub .

Could you display the second sub as surfacing in the ocean ? I really like that insane paint job .

I agree with the MrHobby Acrylics ( Gunze ) . Pest paint ever. I wish they more accessible .

it is cut/sawed along its water line so many scenarios are possible :salute
