David ThorMoin, Moin Holger. Die, auf der das Boot präsentiert wird. Auf dem ersten Bild noch in grauem Plastik zu sehen.

Holger KranichAch so! Das Ding wird selbstverständlich noch lackiert. Ich weiß allerdings noch nicht genau wie. Alclad wird es schon richten.😢

David ThorBin gespannt wie es weiter geht. Die Alterung ist wirklich auch gut geworden.

Holger KranichThx Martin! 🙂
No, Priens boat was a very early Typ VII. This is U 1004. No 8,8cm but more AA. Thanks for watching; )

Martin OostromI didn't know that the 'mad cow' was used by other captains as well. Learned something new today. That's a good day. Thanks

Holger KranichThe fourth u boat flotilla used the mad cow as their callsign, after Priens ambush at Scapa Flow. Very interesting is the fact that the, the captain of 1004 was de-promoted to rank of a private. He did not make enough sunken BRT after coming back to La Rochelle.
Crazy isn't it?

Wilfried BogaertsWow, nice one Holly, this really needs a central spot in your household ! Very attractive 👍

Martin OostromThanks for the history lesson Holger. It sounds crazy to demote a captain to private, perhaps XO was better. But the regime at that time isn't known for making logical decisions.

Christian BruerExcellent work so far Holger 👍 What was your source about the degradation of U-1004's CO?

iceI live in Kiel, close to Laboe and Möltenort so models of u-boats always attract my attention. And you made a real beautiful one.
