Trumpeter 1:48 U-Boat done as U-96 "Das Boot"

[fuzznoggin]

Just completed 06/04/24 after a minimum of 363 hours.   Tamyia paints, RCSubs Photo Etch (Highly Recommend), AK Weathering washes, & Small Scale Lighting LED circuits.
Hope you enjoy it.  I'll be happy to answer any questions.

UPDATE: As of July 27th, U-96 has a new home in the Miami-Dade Military Museum, Miami, Florida. This will displayed in the "WW2 in Miami" exhibit room. The building itself is rich in history being that it was the old Richmond Naval Air Station which based blimps used to track down and engage u-boats off the coast of Southern Florida. The exhibit is "under construction” as of this posting. I was sad to a degree to see it go since I didn’t have it displayed for a month. However the price was right, the fact that it will be used in an educational environment for decades to come, and that my name will be added on a “built by” plaque was worth it.

Thanks! I wasn't sure I knew what I was getting into but I became more obsessed with building it.

So fun to ogle at. I get lost in all the details and the action of the figures. Very awesome build.

This one musta slipped under the waves, I never saw the scope on the surface, lol. Wow, that is still a huge kit in 1/48. Awesome detail all over and the lights really bring it to life.

Beautiful, beautiful work! I am thinking of getting this kit myself as I love type VII's. Any serious challenges with the PE?
