AFV's 1/350 German VIIC Submarine
1
February 14, 2022The box art is most appealing and will sell many of them. Even though the whole model is minuscule in stature, but worth the time applied.2
February 14, 2022Flash. ! There is only one part that had any and this was the fitting for the pressure hull that will never be seen.3

February 14, 2022Scale, Compared to this tube of super glue. There is so little of it. Ending up being 5 inches long. But packed with really fine detail and etched brass.5
February 14, 2022The anchor and 20mm cannon. ! And on the far left is the radar box that fits to the inside bulkhead of the conning tower that had the loop fitted to it later. (Can you see them. ? )6
February 14, 2022The rails are ok, but the brass is better.7
February 14, 2022The detail inside the weather deck is quite presentable, especially after the gun platform is added.8
February 14, 2022These are fair if you don't want to attempt the brass. But the brass is much better.9
February 14, 2022The conning tower weather deck detail is superb.10
February 14, 2022This is the 20mm gun I chose, as it has more 'bulk' and stands out.11
February 14, 2022The 88 Main gun is reasonable.12
February 14, 2022Ohhhhhhhh! The brass. So fine and fragile, but what a look and result.13
February 14, 2022And I used every part provided. 🙂14
February 14, 2022Super fragile and great care must be taken so as not to break/loose it.15
February 14, 2022As always. These parts can be wiped out in a millisecond if you forget what your doing.16
February 14, 2022I really used to be terrified of doing brass work. But after seeing what the boys do with their ships, I gained some confidence and learned how to get it right.17
February 14, 2022There may be a smidgen too much super glue showing, but once painted. All will be good.18
February 14, 2022The aerials are the last bits of brass to be fitted, but this is just on the 'nearly finished' stretch.19
February 14, 2022Jeez. ! Talk about fiddly stuff !!!. The rudder propeller set up really tried my skills, but all went together perfectly.20
February 14, 202212 parts went into the build of this lot21

The detail in this model is quite surprising but astounding for it's actual size.
