    S-100 Schnellboot by CDW (Craig) - FINISHED - Revell - 1:72 - PLASTIC

    I'm building a 1/72 Schnellboot right now.  I stumbled across the 2 uploaded photos in my search for reference material.  Answers our question about what the disk was used for.

     

    By the way, CDW, this build of yours is great.  I used your ship as a reference for the liferafts.  I scratchbuilt the black one from miliput and am going to paint the square one the same color as yours.  I like your color because it has a more used look and that is what I am trying to capture.  Good job!

    I was curious too about the purpose of the white disk behind the forward gun.  Since it is secured with ropes and fittings I believe it is meant to be moved.  Jumping to a conclusion I believe it is a cover for the forward gun position. It would make sense from a nautical view that you would cover that position in heavy seas so as not to be weighed down by the compartment being flooded.  Just my best guess. If anyone has a better idea please let me know.

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
