TYPE IX / U-505 Markings
« Last post by tankerken on 05 Feb , 2024, 19:26 »
Does anyone know where I can get some accurate decals for the U-505 on its last patrol? I know the kit decals are wrong, and the AMP site is closed down.

She looks beautiful. (And nice torpedo shutters!). Very well done.

Thanks for that!
It's lovely to see modelers appreciate a resource. Of course "rivet counters" like the details, but even getting the heart of the info is useful. With 3D printing and so many tools now, it is a very exciting time to model!

The old Revell kit is not as bad as people think it is; the basics are there, it just needs some refinement and details added. I've seen people put as much or more work into the new Revell 1/72 scale kits, and even the Trumpeter 1/48 scale kit.
It's also the only real option available if you want a Type VIIB.

Welcome aboard!
Wow, that's a great model: great painting, a fair amount of superdetailing and the crew also!  8) The old Revell kit demands (too) many attentions. Been in my stash for years, i never dared building it. Very well done, Bravo!

Here are some more interior photos. I apologize for the crappy images; this was done long before digital cameras became available.

Hi, my name is Ken, and I am the newest member of this forum. As my screen name implies, I used to operate tanks for the US Army. I love submarines, especially U-Boats. I have been building models of U-Boats since I was a kid, sadly, I don't have photos of most of them.
One that I do have photos of is my U-99 model, that I built many years ago using the old Revell 1/96 scale U-99 and U-47 kits.
