FRANK:
"In March 2008 I started my project U 564, a VIIc u-boat under command by Kapitaenleutnant Reinhard

Super cool!
Ill be following this build with great interest.
Can not wait to see some progress, looks like its going to be some boat. :o

With an interior like that, you can already make a movie! ;)

That is one very nice build. A future project of mine is to build some of the CMK interiors. Hope mine turns out as nice as Frank's.

Its good to have you back Frank! Superb work my friend. :o

Hi !

Here especially for you a preview.
More you can see on http://www.dargies.de/Modellbau/u564.html
By the way, i bought an replica of an original ww2 u-boat leather coat, new manufactured in germany.
Pretty good quality !
If someone is interested look for U-BOOT LEDERMANTEL on http://www.noble-house.eu/
-
That boat is looking sweet. :o
The jacket is also nice. Which one did you get- the black one, or the grey?
Bit pricey, but really nice item.
-
I, uh, I, uh..I bought a complete (minus leathers) outfit...pants, coat, hat, works well with a plaid cotton shirt and leather garden gloves...from India! real cheap compared go the US$800+ outfits going out there. I haven't worn it except for a couple pix, not a lot of opportunity...
-
@siara: I got the black one... loooks nicer the grey, i think.
You're right, a little pricey...but it's for a lifetime ;)
-
frank ' breathtaking work .outstanding!

A new poster bumping an old thread.
I am also building the 1:72 Revell kit as U-564. Does anyone know where I can find a Dreimal Schwarzer Kater decal or stencil in that scale?
-
Congratulations!
I also want to do something similar but I have a problem, since the kits out of stock in CMKESHOP.COM
I hope only temporarily! :-\
Gregor
P.S. Does anyone know where I can still be bought?

Hi, i used the ULAD Decalsheet Part2, as posted by Ralf. I bought it a few years ago from MisterKit in Italy. But i got the last one they had in stock. I've never saw it again, i think it's complete out of order :(
There are some U-Boat Decals available by www.peddinghaus-decals.de (http://www.peddinghaus-decals.de) but unfortunately not for U564 in 1:72
Perhaps they can print them, you can contact them on their website.
By the way: This is an old thread, but i'm still working on U-564. I finished the hull and now i'm building the conning tower.

Bye for now

Unfortunately that is a 2004 review and Squadron told me last month that they have not had that product in many years. I'll keep searching and hoping. lol
I'll check that one in Italy too. Can't hurt to try.

Frank, looking mighty nice! great pix at your site.

Klasse Arbeit Frank! Nicht nur U564, aber die andere modellen sind einfach super gebaut und dargestellt.
Respect,
Ernest
