The submarine is looking verry good. I like the way you paint it. But it is something wrong with the color of the glass.I don't have the impression of glass when I am looking at it. You have a masterpiece there. Keep doing good quality!

thank you for the kind words guys and yes there is something wrong with the glass it is not glass, but a mouding, this was a quick build and had I fitted glass or perspex I would have to spend a lot of time on getting the interior correct so I opted for a moulding on my very large scale modelw hich I built some years ago I did use a perspex dome and built the wheel house here is a photo of my six foot long nautllus which is now in the hands of a private collector.
