TYPE VIIC/41 U-453 - Revell 1/72
« on: 31 Dec , 2009, 08:12 »
Here some pics of my VIIC/41 with balkon gerat and Flakvierling 38 (ARMO)
I hope to end this one soon ...gato's waiting in drydock too:)

About Balkon gerat... i've been looking evrywere to get info and drownings..but there are so less ans the same for pics..
So what i've found is that there are different type... in form and positions... so at least i've done by fantasy looking at some
drawnings and BPO.

be not so idrodynamic and with big tides there were damages...

Very nice work Sniperonzolo,

I really like the details, especially the Balcongereat. It changes the whole front profile of your VIIC/41 model.

Cheers,

Dougie

Hi Pepper-mint

Yes it is!
La Spezia one... i have rare images and form them and form these
two sites i get the right camo u are seeing here.
-http://modelshipwrights.kitmaker.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=1740
-and the revell one...

well... right camo..hahaha.... the only side i am sure is the one i have to paint... atm i've done a compromise
between revel and modelship on the one i've posted....

all i need to know  is:
-sail/whintergarden inside color...light gray?
-4x flak shields....color?? there were a camo on ?

thank u and ...bravissimo is a big word... hope to find a good compromise on this 453...

ok time to sleep
ciao Pepper
