Hi,

A little WIP on the 1/144 "U-1299" ; slowly...
I removed all the cables/riggings and the 37mm AA, the paint on the hull is finished (ready for weathering, maybe).
Next step : painting the wooden bridge, and the Turm/CTower details + the riggings + the anchor and the display box.









Cheers,
Pepper-M

Looking great Pepper.

Just to be sure, since computers don't always show each colour the same, what are the colours on your camo job?  On my monitor it looks like an Arctic white and some shade of olive.

Pat, it's a dark green, but yes on the white it turned shade olive.
On the 1/72 scale the colors and the camo sheme will be the same.

Cheers,

Thanks for the confirmation Pepper.

I like the look of it anyway.

I've been thinking about painting my U-711 white, with the slate or black camo swirls that show up in several pictures I have of her.  The swirls are either dark, dark grey or black, no question.  But in the B&W photos, it's hard to tell if the hull and CT are white or the typical U-boat Waffe light grey.  Originally a friend had told me that no U-boats were white but I've since found (and confirmed from the people here) that many of the northern boats did have white topsides.

It does look right on your boat, and it gives the ability to emphasize the rivets and the smoke discolouration at the exhaust that might not show as well with a grey hull.

Hi,

Step 1 from the deck painting. A tiny progress... but it positively changes the sub's personality  ;D  Still a lot to do !



TBC...

Hi laurent,

That's one good looking VIIC/41. Weathering on the deck is really great.

Cheers,

Dougie

Hello Gents,

Digging out that old post once again.

I saw in a post that there are in the aftermarkets market flexible wires for the rigging. I don't find that post anymore...

Question : can you guys pls tell me what brand it was and where i can order it from ?

Thank you People  :)
Pepper.
