German type 21 Uboat

[Jeffrey Goff]

during the summer while rummaging through antique shops in the Derby Dales I bought an intriguing brass plaque with details on U3008 a type 21 Uboat
so I modelled a boat to go with the plaque

Merry Christmas to all

What, couldn't pull it off in 1/6th??

On a serious note... amazing score on the plaque. Great that it got into the hands of someone who understood its history. And could build it a suitable companion piece to really explain the history.

Your scratch-built sub is remarkable!!!!

Would you please post some build pictures?

Cheers,

RPR

Nice Type 21 Jeffrey, is it the Robbe 1:40 scale. Dynamic or Static dive system?

I love sailing Subs, always get a twitch in a certain area when they disappear beneath the waves.

And often get asked "How deep will it go Mr".

The answer is, "all the way if I've not been careful"

very nicely finished U-boat.
The Plaque is not original probably who ever made it had exactly the intention you have of displaying it with a model.

Hi John, yes it is the Robbe with dynamic diving, all systems working, I added working torpedo tube doors and lighting, but like all of my models they have to be functional although I never use them, just for show
