1/72 Type VIIC U-744
I am almost finished with this one. I still need to string up the rigging and a few other minor details but for the most part she is complete. This was a very fun build, and also tried my hand at some new modeling techniques. I am very pleased with the outcome of the model. I wanted to show her with very heavy weathering after a very long patrol.
I hope you all enjoy the photos. Neil

Nice job!
Only thing that isnt right is the deck gun. I believe, that by the time all the flaks were installed, the 88 was long gone. Apart from that- a good effort. |

Thank you all for the compliments. I was not sure about the deck gun but did know when she was sunk did not have one. I could not find any info on whether or not she was fitted with one initially or not. I decided to go with the deck gun taking a chance on not being historically accurate 100%.
Thank you all again for the compliments. Once the rigging is up I will try and get better photos and post them. Neil
