The wood effect on the masts is very good.

LucLuke B
Looking good, can't wait to see the rigging.

Rui S
I'm in 👍 😎

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Tim
Decks look great.

George Williams
That's a sweet car, chain driven no less.

Jennifer Franklin
There is nice detailing on the engine; overall, the car is nice, too.

Jan Peters
Thanks mates.
Although I'm a petrolhead, I've not built many car models before.
My son is a big fan of racing cars in general, and old Japanese cars in particular. He has asked me to build this one for him.

Neuling
Sehr schön. More pictures please!

Jan Peters
The pictures are of the real car, I have not yet started with the model 😉

Jennifer Franklin
lol, in that case following, you had me super impressed with the car photos I thought were a model build. I though you were that good. Some of the mates on here are that good.

Jan Peters
More on the S800 on my son's Facebook page: facebook.com/1000634..ely/965621152231173/

Jan Peters
Finally made a start on this one.

Treehugger
A really nice model, shape wise,
Btw, Revell is about to release a 1:144 kit of the IX submarine. Apparently the kit has been delayed from earlier this year, release still pending by the looks of it. Some have preorders put up, but I'll wait for it to come in stock at my local hobby store.

Jan Peters
I've seen the test shots at the Dutch IPMS show last Saturday, I must say it looked rather crude. It's supposed to be available in 2024

Jan Peters
I have just found out the U-boot on the poster is in fact U-572, not U-96.
The picture has been taken from the bridge of U-96 by Buchheim, who was on board of U-96 as a war correspondent. The picture is printed in his book U-boot krieg.

Jan Peters
Rudders and screws added.
This is a really nice model indeed 🙂

Jan Peters
Still working on this, very slowly 🙂

Jan Peters
Very little progress made 🤔

Jan Peters
About ready for paint

Jan Peters
Got some painting done, brushed on, as I have a serious lack of time, and really wanted to get on with this one.

Robert Podkoński
Great job so far, Jan. Keep it up! (Is it all brush-painted?)

Guy Rump
Looking good Jan. 👍

Jan Peters
Thanks mates.
Yes, I've painted it all by hand Robert. During the weathering stage I always use a brush anyway, and I decided to do it like this so I don't have to set up the paintbooth.

Jan Peters
I'm using the paint that Revell included in the box by the way, it is ideal for hand painting 🙂

Robert Podkoński
That's impressive nevertheless. Brush painting such extensive surfaces is a master-class skill for me.

Jan Peters
You're too kind Robert.
Like I said, the paint is very nice to use.

Although I usually like my models to be historically correct, I may swap the decals for the ones in the box anyway, seeing this is the 40th anniversary edition of the film.

Jan Peters
Back to work on this one

Jan Peters
Finished it today! 🙂

Guy Rump
Great job Jan! 👍

Robert Podkoński
Fantastic job! Congrats, Jan!

Jan Peters
Thanks mates!
It will soon be off to the display cabinet of a mate, who is a uge fan of the movie. He has bought me another one of these, in exchange for this model ☺️

Agnius
Congrats! Very good looking model!

Jan Peters
Thanks Agnius 🤝🏻

Schwarzadler
Fette Beute!

Danke Neuling

CaptGPF
das Güttentag!

Jan Peters
Thanks CaptGPF

Mr James
The rust mottling on the exhaust is superb. Lovely work

gorby
WOW, fantastic weathering!

Shar Dipree
Wow. he has already experienced a lot. Fine detail with the front outer wheel, which was often left out by the crew. Great! 👍👍👍👍

Neuling
I agree with everyone above. Excellent details and weathering. It would be interesting to know what exactly this tank has gone through to get this amount of dirt on the upper side of the turret. Maybe remains of camouflage?

CaptGPF
Can;t say anything more than the gents above - other than..

🤩

Schwarzadler
Unfassbar! You should discipline the tank crew for not cleaning their panzer...
