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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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 ☺️
