I felt like building out of my plane comfort zone in between ... 😄

James C
This looks interesting👍

Jos Jansen
Thanks James...!

@Roland: Really...? Nice...! This is sometimes good for my modeling mojo to build another model than my favorite scale and aviation kits. A great project to improve my AB skills.

Jos Jansen
😄 U-boot GB...LOL!

Clifford Keesler
Watching this one also. I have that one also.

Jos Jansen
Ping...!

Clifford Keesler
Looking good.

Spanjaard
interesting 🙂 will you be doing as U-995?

Jos Jansen
Thanks Clifford and Spanjaard...! @Spanjaard...no, this kit is just an in between build just to experience with some weathering techniques. I am not building a particular model, such as the museum U-boot in Laboe Germany.

James C
Looking impressive already Jos👍

Clifford Keesler
Agree with James 100%.

Eelco Gregoire
Looking very cool Jos.

Jos Jansen
Thanks...James and Clifford, now we getting somewhere...lots of modeling techniques I have tried...last phase I'll use some oils.

Clifford Keesler
That is looking just amazing Jos. Do's not look like it was to far out of your comfort zone. LOL.

Erik Leijdens
Fantastic work Jos!! Everything you touch changes in gold mate!!

Neuling
Top result indeed!

Clifford Keesler
What color did you use on the deck Jos.

Nathan Dempsey
A whaaaaaat?! Wow, that's a cool build Jos.

Jos Jansen
Thanks Clifford, Erik, Neuling and Nathan for your kind words! I try many weathering techniques, applied a wash and pin wash today.

@Clifford...the base is a black primer, with Black-Basing I airbrushed a mix of H71 and H47 from Gunze on it, then I applied chipping liquid and highly diluted XF-63 German Gray from Tamiya on top. I slightly worked the deck with a small brush to create the chip effect, and finally a Dark Brown wash from MIG on top.

Patrick Hagelstein
And what a U-boat it is! Amazing job, Jos! 👍

Treehugger
Such a nice model, and a nice kit.

Clifford Keesler
Thank you for the info Jos.

Nathan Dempsey
@Roland - LOL

James C
Until seeing this build I had never even considered 1/144 scale submarine kits... but I'm totally convinced now! Your paintwork is exceptional Jos👍

Jos Jansen
