Those details (love the torpedo doors) really will make that sub stand out. Amazing.

From old spark plugs I made and installed stands for placing the model in a showcase.

On the advice of a more knowledgeable modeler, and after consulting with a museum worker in Hamburg, I found out that the lower part of the boat's hull, which I painted green, was not correct. in fact, the lower part of the boat's hull was dark gray. So I had to repaint the boat.
this is what the boat looks like now.

That is a great looking boat, when will you have its test run?

The boat is being manufactured as a tabletop model and launch on water is excluded, but it will be finished by the end of October.

Finally, the latest datals were made for my model U-151- These are 4 deck hatches for the crew and a hatch in the bow of the hull (I think for servicing the anchor device)
