U-3504 Launched Yesterday! (Revell AG 1/144th Scale Type XXI)
With great fanfare, U-3504 slid down the ways at the Bortwerks yard just outside Chicago, adding yet another U-Boat to Illinois' collection. The excellent Revell AG 1/144th scale Type XXI went together easily and plus painting and decals was launched just 3 days after the keel was laid. I had a fun time with this one, 1/144th scale is excellent for subs if you aren't crazy or well funded enough to tackle the 1/72nd scale VIIC and Gato that Revell AG offers.
Here are some pictures of the brand new submarine: The conning tower and stand. A view from the bow with open torpedo tubes. The stern, captured in all of its plastic glory. More of the torpedo tubes. A view of the bow planes. The conning tower and fore deck. The whole thing all together! Next up in line from Bortwerks Chicago is a Tamiya 1/48th scale Tiger I with die cast metal body! After that comes another from Revell AG, the 1/144th scale VIID. I can't wait! |

Nice, I'm currently (amongst other things) working on the AFV Club 1/350th scale Type XXI kit, in between doing bits of my Akula!
