It is fiberglass hull from Lee Upshaw(http://scaleshipyard.com/Catalog%20Pages/submarines.html#SUB-26),
in the 1/32 scale,for now it is the biggest boat in my fleet,and I can tell you guy`s it is one big mean m.f.
It will be the U-870,Enst Hechler.

Ah I am sorry,well this is a hull from the firm Engel(http://www.engel-modellbau.de/catalog/index.php?cPath=3_11&osCsid=41756b85974aabc1581984fc8c1724de)
with a modelbrass deck(http://www.modelbrass.com/typeix.htm).

I have scrachtbuild the front and the back,also the CT will be thrown away and sccratchbuild a new turm IV,using the CT of U-870.

These are some old pictures,but I really like them.





my best regards,

Ron.

Ah the third one is a Robbe(http://at.robbe-online.net/rims_at.storefront/49e98a5000648995271b3e0dc14606a5/ChangeLanguage/EN?ISID=49e98a5000648995271b3e0dc14606a5)
ABS hull.And also with a modelbrass deck ,type VII-B(http://www.modelbrass.com/robbeVIIB_english.htm).

This boat had 9 patrols before she starting to leak in many places,
so I took here out of the water and back in my shipyard,and start all over again.

my best regards,

Ron.

I noticed you have a bow section on your computer> I am working on a 1/72 Type IX C/40. I wonder if you have a drawing of the sonor/echo sounding device under the bow of these late U-Boats? I believe the Type XXIII and the Type XXI also had these. Any help would be great!
Thanks.
