Do you think that the 84 crew will read their large colour guide sheet? Happy New Year. Peter.😊 ▲

Hi Doug,
Thank you for the information. I looked back on my post and noticed that i did not put the G in front of the 7e. I have now corrected my mistake. Thank you. Martin555. ▲

I guess you mean G7e Martin, of which there were several types; G7e/T2, G7e/T3, and G7e/T4 Falke.
Pic shows 3 fish from WW2; top GB MK IX 1200kg, centre DKM G7e 1400kg (electric propulsion 😉 with wet lead acid batteries😮), bottom US MK 18 1378 kg (copied from a G7e captured in 1941!) Displayed at the Kriegs- und Widerstandskämpfermuseum der Niederlande (Overloon). (War and Resistance Fighter Museum, Overloon, Holland. Cheers, Doug 😎 PS I don't recommend trying to slice nitroglycerine Red 😮💥🤕 ▲

Well started as usual Martin - your blogs are always a pleasure . Take it you are still going with static - be incredibly difficult otherwise.

"now where in the little beggers do you put the electric motors!😆"
You put something like this Motraxx M30VA down the back end Peter, and a pair of AAA cells up the business end. Use a stack of Lithium button cells if you want more realistic oomph! Switch it on with a simple contact switch that closes when the fish leaves the tube. The motor has a diameter of 10mm so should fit nicely in a 48 scale 53cm torpedo. All clear Peter? 😉 I leave it to you if you want to put nitroglycerine in the warhead!💥🤕 I have some even smaller motors (6 and 8mm diameter) from this range somewhere in my stash that I plan to try in 1/72 scale torpedoes for my H Class destroyer and for propulsion in an Airfix 1/72 Vosper MTB and RAF Rescue launch. 3 per boat. If it works I'll do the Revell 1/72 PTB as well. Wish me luck🤞 Cheers, Doug 😎 ▲

Hi Peter,
It is just the normal tube of Humbrol model filler or Revell plastic filler. Sometimes i make some small amounts by scrapping plastic from sprue with a scalpel and mixing it with liquid polly glue. Martin555. ▲

Hi Pete,
Thank's. The paint i am using is "artist acrylic". It seems to spray a little better if i add a very small amount of washing up liquid to the mix. It also sticks better if i lightly ruff up the surface but that is not always possible with the small parts. Martin555. ▲

Know the problem your having with spraying white paint Martin, what paint are you using? for small jobs I use Vallejo paints, but if it's a lot of area to paint, I use halfords rattle can with masking what I don't want white, no problem with coverage, one coat of acrylic primer then one coat of appliance white, job done.😊
btw. lovin your build log, and love all the little extras you are adding👍 Cheers, Pete ▲

Hi Cash,
I must admit plastic kits are not really my thing as i am use to making everything myself. However having said that I am starting to enjoy this build. Compared to what i normally do you can just stick a few bits together and and you have an almost finished part, then paint and the job's done, unless i start thinking that if i add this or that to it to make it a little more detailed.

Hi Michael,
Reference "Unfortunately a lot of the detail work that has to be done on this model will not be seen" Even though you will never see some of the detail, i know that if i did not do it it will play on my mind to the point that i would have to somehow take it apart and do it just for my peace of mind.

Re the white Martin - its always a problem no matter what type of paint used - always requires a good few coats. When building one of our models for a customer we now insist on an extra charge for white!
Kid you not a Suzuki Jeep kit needed 8 coats of Acrylic White and started to loose detail............ Security gate took 3 Hammerite Smooth White coats............. No real answer - even with artists oils ........... Once again your level of detail astounds - the mark of a true model maker when finishing off stuff you know will never be seen............ ▲

Hi Martin..haven’t been on the board much past few weeks, found your build log for this model. You do good work sir!! More patience than I have, at least as far as static modelling goes. Last plastic kit I built was a Monogram hot rod pickup, might have been a 40 model, can’t remember. That was about 48 years ago...😮 Anyway, keep it up, you’re doing good!

"Unfortunately a lot of the detail work that has to be done on this model will not be seen." That's what I call "quality modelling", just because it can't be seen doesn't mean it shouldn't be done to a high standard. After all you know its been done correctly.

Absolutely brilliant Martin, don't know how you manage to keep all the small parts, (I'd be on my hands and knees looking for them with a torch every 5 mins😐)! Lack of flexible fingers with no feeling and rubbish eyesight stops me from doing a lot of small stuff these days, so your shaky hands would be frustrating to say the least. I know it will be another work of art and display of patience when finished.

Hi Stephen,
Thank's for your kind comment. I gently heated the inside and then pushed a piece of smoothed over wood into the Hull and held it there until it cooled. It dose not take much heat so i had to be careful not to melt it. I am glad you like the assembly log so far. Martin555. ▲

When I look at my unfinished models - sometimes think I have a fear of finishing - obviously you do not suffer from that Martin and simply keep on going. Wonder how many there are like me though...........
Annoying thing its usually "a problem" that stops you - and when you do finally start again find that the problem is easy to resolve........ ▲

Hi Martin, love it so far, can you please tell me what size is in English, I never did get the hang of that metric rubbish.
It was hard enough to get used to decimal currency, all my more and wright measuring kit is in ft and inches etc. It's a shame we didn't teach the rest of the world proper measurements. Cheers Colin. PS great modelling as usual from the master. ▲

I certainly don't envy you cutting all those slots, though once done I think you will be quite pleased with yourself. I find it best to do some other work on another area to break the monotony. Cheers, Stephen. ▲

Hi Martin,
Great work with the slots, I know you have said you'll paint the hazy areas around the slots but if you wanted to it is possible to remove these marks using very fine wet & dry sandpaper and Tamiya polish, down side is it is a lot of extra work. Cheers, Stephen. ▲

Hi Peter,
Yes it was a present from my family but it was my own fault cutting out all of the slots as i thought it would look better. It was ok to start with but by the time i got to the end my patience was running a little thin. At least that bit is over and done with now and i am looking forward to getting on with the rest of the assembly. Martin555. ▲

Thanks Martin,
Good to see that again👍 First saw it at Bavaria Studios around 1996. Since then my German has improved dramatically and I must say that watching in the original language of the crew makes it much more real and dramatic. I now have the DVD of the Directors cut 16:9 version of the film, with The Making of, in both German and English. Great film. Cheers Doug 😎 ▲

My dad took me to see the U-505 German Type IXC submarine on exhibit at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry back in the 50's, I was probably about 9 at the time and luckily not yet 6'2". My dad was 6'3", don't remember him banging his head, he was a good ducker. Dad worked in the Sonar Labs as part of his WWII Navy service. I was very excited and impressed by the sub! Photo is off the U-505 being towed at capture flying the US flag.
