New Submarine kit

[AntonyUK]

Hi.

Just noticed another kit being released in the UK.

http://www.uboat-collection.com/index.html

It's from Hatchetpartworks,

It's a nice workable scale and it's got a lot of photo etched parts.

Might be available in other country's .

 

Regards Antony.

Yes, another beautiful model impossible to get outside the UK.

Hi Yves.

Yea. But you have the best timber ship model supplies in the World on your side of the water.

Well that's my opinion

 

Regards Antony.

It seems as if it is 150  X £5.99 = aprox $1,250 USD OUCH  super cool looking but....

I saw it as 150 issues @ £5.99 each + binders etc. = £900.00 + 3 years to complete? WOW!!!  Geoff  Oh yes one more thing, did I see MDF in the TV Ad?

Looks a very nice model.If it is 150 parts(I cannot find the mentioned on the website),personally I would rather save up for the Engel U boat for that sort of cash.

I have to agree with Antony,I am deeply envious of the timber availability in the US

 

Kind Regards

Anthony,

 

There is a Forum dedicated to the Disney Nautilus. Some of the projects are quite beautiful; you will need to register

A step back out of the financial stratosphere   Some one makes a resin and photo etch upgrade kit for Revell's 1/72 U boat.This includes a full interior.A smaller scale I know,however much,much cheaper Sorry can't remember the manufacturer,I stumbled upon it on Facebook.

 

Kind Regards

Nigel,

 

This might be it, but this one has no interior, but the work as SO brilliant, almost not believable. Plastic no less.  Be sure to scroll through ALL of the pages, as pics come back up later during the scroll. A huge treat for the eyes. The aging look is beyond words.

Now that is simply AWESOME Michael!!!!I take it you have looked at his 66 page log on the dutch forum,linked in the text.I will find details on the kit interior and post back.It does remind me of my Hasegawa Akagi build for detail parts.I have made a small start and am currently waiting for some 1/350 portholes from Russia.I will start a log when I collate all the parts together,and start work in earnest.

 

Kind Regards

Soon found it Just google CMK (Czech Master Kits) u-boat resin interior.I didn't want to post pics as they may be copyrighted and there are mountains of pics on google images.Three kits are necessary to do the full interior as they have divided the boat into three sections,Engine room,Torpedo room and command center.

 

Kind Regards

Nigel,

 

NO I had not linked over. Thanks for the heads up, I will Google this and certainly spend much quality time looking at the work of such an amazing artist.  

 

PS: Many more than "a handful" at MSW (:-)

 

Thanks my friend
