Just had a look on Google at some other completed models of this kit, and it's about as WOW! as it can get.

Spanjaard

Joerg R.

That IS quite a project ! WOW

Holger Kranich

Roger Lustenberger
Ok, its been a while, had some Modelling Blues on the way, but its back on my bench. Sorry, i didn't picture every Step on the way.
The Hull has its base colors and some weathering has started. But still a long way till its finished. Also the Inside has gotten some color.

Choppa Nutta
yeah very cool ! 🙂

Robert W Martel
That is really neat being able to see the inside like that. Nice !! 👍

Clifford Keesler
It is looking really nice.

Spanjaard
excellent. will be amazing when finished 🙂

tinyadmiral
been sooooo wanting this kit! just need to find a buyer for my organs to pay for it lol

Thomas Mayer
Very cool work so far!

Roger Lustenberger
My Hull is completed! 😄 the Inside compartment is almost finished, some Lights by LED will follow. The Base is made by someone else of our Group, which is coming together really nicely, as are the other Sections of the Boat.

Alec K
Wow - massive and impressive 👍

Robert W Martel
Looks Great !! This is such a cool project. It inspired me to order the Revell 1/144 scale U-Boat Type XXI German Submarine w/Interior. I sure would like to build the big one, but just don't have room for such a monster! But the Revell kit will be something different and be a cool display.
Love your build, great group effort !! Cheers! 👍

Hanno Kleinecke
Wow, what an impressive piece of work, outstanding ! So you did not use the original kit hull as originally planned, and used the clear hull instead ?

Alexander Grivonev
beautiful paintjob and weathering!

Roger Lustenberger
Hi Robert! Thank you 🙂
@ Hanno: its all OotB. The Hull came as a full Plexi Piece for the Aft Section. The Other Sections are half Plexi and Half Plastic.
@ Alexander: thank you for the nice words 🙂

Holger Kranich
das is ja ein Sahneschnittchen!!!

Spanjaard
it looks fantastic for sure. almost museum piece.... looking forward seeing the complete thing.
although if i take the rivet counting approach, there should be a few more pipes and cables in the walls.... 😉
again, this is the rivet counting approach... i think it is looks glorious as it is now.

Roger Lustenberger
@ Holger: Ne Zuckersüsse 🙂
@Spanjaard: Thank you 😄 Yeah, those Rivets... lol😉 I Agree with the Pipelines and cables etc inside. Trumpeter did a good job with the details overall, but some parts are just really sloppy oder simply just missing, f.e. Torpedo doors front and rear are non existend, Figures are really sloppy and not in scale. The entire Boat (expect the Rear Part) is starboard side made from Clear Plexi and Port side Plastic. Except for the Tower / Command Center, where Port is Clear... ? Makes no sense. Fitting is excellent tho.

Spanjaard
oh, well, more opportunities for you to have fun😉 looking forward seeing the complete thing 🙂

Alberto Michieletto
Wow, Fantastic work!!!!

Christian Bruer
Very nice work 👍 What is about painting and weathering, is everybody of the group members doing it with his own paint and technique?

Roger Lustenberger
As a basic rule, we're using the colors given by the manual. But after that everyone can do as he likes. Some like it overdone, others clean and new... each section is an individual.

Roger Lustenberger
Added the Lights at my friends house, since i have no idea of electric what so ever... also a first glimps how the finishing Projekt will be.... yet only the neighbouring section is added. Ill add some details of the wiring later tonight.

Alexander Grivonev
the lights look awesome, how about some red LEDs for "ALARM!!" 😄 would look epic...now i need to watch "Das Boot" again, directors cut...

Thomas Bischoff
cool project, count me in

Roger Lustenberger
@ Thomas, chunsch uf Basel? Xehsch de s'ganze Boot 🙂

Roger Lustenberger
@ Alexander: as far as my research went, the red light is only on modern ships.

Thomas Bischoff
Geht leider nicht - bin fast den ganzen Oktober in Südfrankreich. Das Boot hätt ich mir gerne angesehen!

Roger Lustenberger
My Section is finished 😄The final Baseplate is fixed, lights added and Crew placed.
Also added a sneak peak How thr rest of the sub will look like. Can't wait until all the sections are finished and put together. Its allready impressive by itself .

Thomas Bischoff
top work! Hope to see it one day.

Murad ÖZER
Roger, a most unusual and an epic project this is. 👍

Spanjaard
amazing job Roger

Mike Daniels
I dont usually do subs but i am sorely tempted now. Top quality work guys!!
Ahhh, just seen the price! Might need to save up for this one.

Roger Lustenberger
Some pictures of the complete uboat 🙂

Spanjaard
if one part was really good, seeing the complete thing together is simply amazing!
