Kevin got a reaction from gieb8688 in U552 by Kevin - Trumpeter - 1/48 - PLASTIC - German U-boat - Started November 2021
good afternoon everyone
thank you for comments likes
submarines never had space under the torpedo tubes, there was a multitude of pipes, strainers, and valves, so although this is artistic licience, i closed the gap in a bit, no one is going to be able to follow a pipe
mig oil stain used under the tubes,
my loading torpedo get the chop after a aluminium paint job and a new set of props
the bunk beds from the kit were discarded as the bunks would have been raised whilst loading the fish
sorry about the poor photos, i need one hand to keep it all together
arrived today

im not sure what colour they are, i don't even know what the panel is for, although i am presuming it is a control state board for the tubes, colours can be decided at anytime when i know for sure, its just a filter at the light source, at a quick quess i would say red/green and power status

good afternoon everyone
Lighting
this will be a mixture, of lamps LEDS and fibre
i put one light between the tubes, fed a wire through the bulkhead and hollowed out some of the panel to light up in different directions
the firbe wires, im not so sure about, i should have ordered .5mm not 1.0
i drilled far to man holes and i dont think i am going to be able to bend them enough as the space behind the panelling is tight when the pressure hull goes in, but i am experimenting with different colours and if i use more than one lamp i might be able to get them to fit, as it wont be so bulky

Aside from the high level of your weathering skills... this is so huge.
I always thought 1/72 U-boat or US-Gato submarines released by Revell were maximum size but this is a another league.
