Uboat type 1a, 1/350 scale

Hi. I'm making the U-25, an ubat type 1a.

It was in the Spanish civil war and was a clear precursor of the Type VII class.

The original paper model (OPM) that I used like a guide was painted red under the waterline and a deck of wood. Researching, I found that the german subs, even the prewar ones, were painted dark gray, and the wooden deck was embeded with an asfaltic compost that gave it a wooden-blackist color.

So, after resizing the model to a 1/350 scale, I assembled the hull and the conning tower and started the paint.

Right now the sub is assembled by a 80% percent. more or less. It remains to place the gun, the railing, the anti-net cables, the anchor and the flag mast on the rear part of the deck.

You can see that the deck was cut and perforated with a knife and a pin, and the water exaust holes at the sides of the deck are in relief too.
