A SPECIAL U-BOAT...Just finished!

[lupanzer]

Hi mates!

Type VII U-boats were the most commom type of German WWII U-boat.U-boat stands for Untersseboot,wich means submarine in German.

The type VII C was the workhorse of the German U-boat force,with 568 comissioned from 1940 t0 1945.

In the end of 1944 some submarines of type VII C tried to use as carriers of midget submarines of the type "Biber", but unsuccessfully. I´ll make this special version...

The model, in the 1:350 scale is from FLAGMAN, an unusual Russian modelling company...

...the usual start pictures...









See you soon!

Very cool.

The Biber is pretty small in 1/350, looks like a board game piece.
