    German submarine minelayer type XB, U-234 in 1:32 scale (model length 280 cm)

    My work on a model boat type XXI on a scale of 1:32 comes to an end. I just had to make and install the welds.
    That's why I'm starting a new project. It will be a German minelayer boat.
    Type XB is one of the last boats of the Second World War. Several varieties of these boats were built. I chose the U-234 boat.
    The model is also built on a 1:32 scale and has a length of 280 cm.
    This boat had an extended turret with two winter gardens that housed two 20mm twin anti-aircraft guns and one 37mm anti-aircraft gun.
    I would like to present a few photos of these weapons to submarine enthusiasts.
    20mm cannons are made with shields. But I will remove these shields.

    I keep working on the tower of the boat. Soldered the upper empty space for both winter gardens and tried on the anti-aircraft guns. Click image for larger version

      If I look up "Detailed orientated", or "patience" in Webster's Dictionary, will I see your photo?

      FANTASTIC work, thank you for sharing.

                I look forward to each post you do. I enjoy the craftsmanship and skills you show.
                Thank you!
                If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.
