Looks to me as a nice boat, at least a good platform to build all the extra functions.

As for the emblems, the vinking ship is about the U901 itself, the green swordfish translate itself to serving the 9 th flotilla, which is strange because it served the 11th flotilla, the emblem accourding to Uboat net shows a polarbear standing on a conningtower instead of the swordfish.

I do see a tiny viking ship on the front now... I missed that.
I guess a boat can have two emblems? I didn't get that from uboat.net.

I see a Viking ship (boat's emblem) on the front of the tower and laughing fish on the side (flotilla emblem). What am I missing?

[Tijgert]

A beauty for sure... Not to criticize, but didn't U901 have a different emblem? I looked it up and I found it was a Viking ship.

Or maybe no?

Build the Arkmodel Type VII and pick a boat that matches pretty close? It is much more accurate than the Robbe kit. You will need to learn to scratch build if you want to be extremely accurate on anything.

Cool nickname! :D
The Arkmodel might be a good boat to start but the 1/48 scale makes it substantially smaller than my Robbe’s. I don’t mind going bigger or staying the same, but a good 16% smaller size would bother me I think. The 1/30 scale sounds interesting, what kind of boat is that?
