U552

Here's my attempt at Revell's 1/72 U552. At 3' long it's a brute. It was painted using Lifecolor and Humbrol paints. It just needs the jumping wires and some figures added.

That's a good job. The weathering looks very authentic, how long did it take you?

Wow I like it. Like Adrian said how long did it take you?

Thats a very detailed model you have there Francie, excellent work, the weathering is terrific, i dont know where there are 1/72 U-Boat crew though, you might have to improvise if theres none out there

Very nice, just as nice as the Fokker Dr.1 you posted before.

Incredible weathering, rust stains, and dinged paint. Fantastic looking sub!

Nice model there mate.

BTW, the firm Czech Masters do some 1/72 figures based around this model if that is any help, failing that you could try Hecker & Goros Zinnfiguren as I believe that they also do some as well.
Alternatively there is the old standby of converting some figures to suit!
