Hello all!
I’ve just began a new model, a C class (Holland license) Spanish submarine from the 30’s.
The model is a free issue from Jesús López Bea and can be downloaded from here:
Los barcos de papel: Submarino clase C (1928)
As all of Bea’s models, it is not developed to a specific scale, but something around 1/300. In my case. I edited the model and adjusted it to 1/300
The C class was composed of 6 units, identified by the codes C-1 to C-6 which were painted on both sides of their conning towers (Bea’s model provides six sets of conning tower in order to assemble whichever you want).
Also, all C Class took part in the Spanish Civil War under governmental flag, seeing extensive use in liaison and patrolling duties and taking a heavy toll in casualties. Only C-4 fully served in the Spanish navy after the war (it was interned in Bizerta when the war ended, and returned by the French to Franco); two others, C-1 and C-2 were refloated after being sunk in shallow waters, but failed to become fully operative again.
Up to now, the hull is mostly finished; stabilization fins and anchors, still to be assembled. Some minor adjustments were required but nonetheless everything fit as desired.
More to follow soon.
