With all the flood grates, intakes and exhaust ports done, primer was applied. Next will be my first real attempt at airbrushing. I’ve played but not done it for keeps. Wish me luck.

Go for it Casy!
You are going to inspire me to do my first airbrush sub! Looking forward to seeing your work!

Before painting starts, it bugs me that I can’t find one photo of this boat that shows any type of buoy system. Either in under way photos or the way she is now. Nor could I find any pictures of her sister subs with them. So, being the somewhat anal type, I filled in and sanded the buoys that are indicated fore and aft on this kit. Why? It seems they didn’t exist on this boat, at least in this fashion. If I’m proven wrong later, then I can etch them back in.Last edited by Das Boot; 03-25-2022, 12:08 AM.Of the approximately 40,000 men who served on U-boats in WWII, it is estimated that around 28,000 to 30,000 lost their lives.Comment

Practice your weathering techniques on something else before you attempt them on the boat. It will help a lot.Comment

Grandkids are more fun than model subs and you send them home for upkeep.

Started on the anti-foul. Airbrush is working well. Quite smooth.
