Category: Watercraft
Name of Build: U-Boat Type XXIII
Kit manufacturer: Trumpeter
Scale: 1/144
Description
My first sub! Coming in at 9.5" long for the scale it fits perfectly on the shelf. Additional material provided by photo etch (railings, rungs, hatch handles) and rod and wire (antenna, hand railings). The scheme is a what-if splinter more commonly found on larger type U-Boats. Painted with Tamiya colors, weathered with AK + MiG rust effects and oils with some "fresh" water drips a la Future. A dry transfer skull and crossbones on the torpedo hatches seals the deal.
