Brush painted mostly with cheap 'In the tube' children's acrylics. Detail painted with Vallejo Model Air acrylics using a fine point brush.
The rigging, although not much, was difficult. Trying to get the adjusters parallel was a real pain, not to mention the safety wires either side of the main deck by the conning tower!
Not liking rust on an operational U. Boat model, I went easy on the weathering. More stains really and a bit scummy. No flag either.
I intend to place the boat in 'water' but I'm somehow not in the mood just yet.......
You can only take so many pictures of a submarine so here they are.
The four main deck escape hatches.
The safety wires around the main deck/conning tower can just be seen.
Cheers all and thanks for looking.
