Lovely. For being WW1 era, somehow the submarine design doesn't look that weird to me. 🙂

Very nice indeed 👍🏻
The model must be huge in 72nd scale?

Thanks Jan, the model is about 80 cm in length. I had to rearrange my workspace!

Album info

U9 became well known, operating successfully at the beginning of the Great War in the North Sea under Kapitänleutnant Otto Weddigen.

The kit is nicely detailed and fits very well together. It may be suitable to replace the ship's masts by steel masts. But as far as I found out they are not yet available in the aftermarket.
