Brian's 1/48 Dkm u-Boat Type Viic U-552

You're making a fine job of this. I like the idea of hanging it in place of the TV. Mike is right - far nicer to look at than the dross that's put out as entertainment.
Nice to see a clean tidy bench :thumb2:

I bet you are all fed up seeing progress/pictures of the vent drilling and filing so good news this is the last, all finished and I have to say I'm not sorry to see the last of it.
Next is the masking and painting of the hull :) and then the next thing I'm looking forward too (22 figures to be painted)

Did a bit today, feels good to actually build stuff rather than monotonous drilling.

The easy way with the flag is the Maltese cross is at the top and nearest the flag pole. Same with the white ensign, the quarter with the Union jack upper most nearest the staff.

A task like all those holes is best dealt up in small bites. Well worth the effort.

All ready for the paint just need to check with a fresh head everything lines up :)

Congrat's on a long and utterly boring (for you) job.

A model submarine is not complete without them there slots drilled out.

Well done. :thumb2: :thumb2:

Did a bit this morning don't know what to do about the deck!. It was wooden but painted black anti-slip so I decided to paint the wooden colour and then black and weather it so some of the wood is showing through, what do you guys think?
Also included a messy photo just to prove its not always tidy :)

I'm sorry Brian that still counts as tidy by the standards of most people :rolling:
