A friend of mine made some new pics of the 995 in his photo studio.
One disadvantage of this forum is that the pics are being resized, a lot of details can`t be seen now.

Hi Mate, I'm creating a model for Silent Hunter 5 (U-Boat sim) and love the look of your model.
I'd love to recreate it as a texture for the in-game model.
Is there any chance you could release your Hi-Res Pics in a .Rar file and post a link.

Would be very grateful.

Regards

My God! You would swear that anchor was made of solid metal and weighed half a ton! Superb work Karel!

Stunning!    Really beautiful...  Those props... I can see they are grey... Was it so that they used steel props later in the war? I think i

Yes, they change to steel props because brass was hard to get near the end of the war

I have been thinking about my next project and i have made my decision:

I am going to build Revell`s 1/72 Flower class corvette `HMCS Snowberry`, maybe i am going to build it as the`HMS Bluebell`, i am still not sure about that.
The reason for building this kit is that it`s the same scale as the U995, and the Flower class corvettes operated mostlly in the North Atlantic, the same area where the U995 operated.
In other words; this is going to be U995`s opponent...
I am going to build this kit with most of the PE-kits that are available.




There is one drawback, i will start the build at the end of the year, for now i have other hobbies  
In the meantime i will gather information, books etc etc about the flower classe corvettes.


When the time is there, i will open a topic in the `Destroyer` section.

I didn`t paint the props grey, i painted them stainless steel, and added some marine growth afterwards.
With some light on the props it can be seen they are shiny beneath the barnacles
