Model KNM Kaura ( U 995 VIIC/41) norwegian version.
My model was finished today and as some of you asked me to show a picture of my modest model. I am posting same, although it is not so much compared to what some of you are building. The model is in general based on the Revell building kit with addition of the normal varieous "extras" brass, wood and decalsets as far as they were correct. The model kit is modified on several places: guns and wintergarten removed, partly new conningtower, snortmast modified incuding new airpiping,deckcasing and lockingpin. Casingdeck modified, two pressurecontainers ( not 4), casingdeckflares (widening) at the wintergarten place removed and casing straigthened, zinkanodes ( not painted)on the propellor "A"brackets and aft hydroplanes and slit for the"Pillenwerfer" on stb side next to the exhaust outlet to mention a few things. The model is painted to the norwegian navys colourcodes and not weathered as the sub never looked like some of the fantastic and skillfully made weathered modelsubs you see, neither is any brownwash done whereby you emphasize the rivets of any use as you hardly notice same in the real.
