Title: Type IIB - CAPCON 2011
Post by: GlennCauley on 28 Sep , 2011, 09:47

Here are some pics of the 1:72 Type IIB U-boot that won the "1/72 and larger Submarines" category at the recent CAPCON 2011 show.
My own U-673 was up against this Type IIB... and he got the nod.  :P

A beauty, i love the amazing weathering and details (the outside toilet is great)!
Great pics Glenn, Thanks for posting 'em!

PS: your U-673 is -S-uper, anyways!

Thanks Glenn!

It's certainly very nice, but I would say the tip went to the deck activity. Add some to U 673, and you'll be on top!

I thought it looked familiar!

Yesssss it is Harvey Low's boat!    It was also a feature article in FineScale Modeler, May 2010.
:)

Super-nice guy, and an AWESOME model builder.

That is one awesome build!  I'll bet the judges had a very hard time deciding the winner between Mr. Low's build and your's Glenn.  Both are exceptional quailty builds.
