ALL other U-boats / Re: Robbe`s type XXI, 1/40, U-2511.
« Last post by dougie47 on 23 Feb , 2023, 11:28 »
Hi Ron,

Thanks for the update. I like the maintenance figures and barrels. 1/35th is a good scale for a diorama, I enjoyed adding little details to the Accurate Armour dockside such as oil barrels, seagulls, a rat, rubble, welding equipment etc.

Have you had your R/C boat running on the pond or has the first launch still to come?

Also are you going to make the Skipjack an R/C model? It looks big enough to house a dive module despite being a plastic kit.

Cheers,

Dougie

Last couple of weeks did not much work on the boat itself, but i bought some nice goodies.
Please have a look.

New periscope, i love it.


New brass proppelor.


Maintenance crew.



Barrels and food supplies.


Swasticas for the buildings.


Two Seehunds for the dio.

 
New NIMH battery pack for the transmitter.
8 cells, 9,6 Volts. 4300 mAh.


New NIMH charger for the transmitter, max 8 cells. 1000 - 8000 mAh.


I can now trickle charge these batteries 24/7 without destroying them, when not in use.

Charging,


Trickle charging.


And the Revell 1:72 Skipjack class. It`s my first non German submarine.


This workbench will be moved to another room in a couple of weeks/months.


Hope you like it.

Regards,

Ron.

Hi Falo,
The drydock and photo etch looks fantastic but the scale of 700th would be hard to work with.
SG - hope you are on the mend from Covid and that your Werke can open again.
Cheers,

 ;D ;D ;D ;D  Way too small Falo!


By the way, the gun project goes on silently but steady. I made good progress with the lower arms and the safety harnessess. I hope to be able to post a photographic update soon (SG Werke is shut due to Covid these days, wish me luck ;) ) 


Cheers,

TYPE IX / Re: IXC 40 Revell 1/144
« Last post by dougie47 on 22 Jan , 2023, 08:02 »
Hi Falo,
Thank you. I had heard about it but did not know a release date. It will make a good companion to the VIIC and VIIC/41 in 144th scale. Maybe they will bring out an early IXC at some point too.
The 144th Platinum Fletcher would make a great model, so too would that 1/8th scale E-Type Jaguar.

Cheers,
Dougie

Hello Gents,


in April 2023 the Uboat IXC 40 in 1/144 scale from Revell should be on the market. Do not know if you have already heard? Have a link here to a German modeling site, if you scroll down to the ships, you will see a photo.
