Kriegsmarine I just bought a U-boat!

[JBeltram]

Hello folks,

I just bought a real WWII German produced U-boat. It is a little smaller than the standard type which wrecked havoc in the North Atlantic, but it is real just the same.

Don't be too quick to judge my little boat; Joachim Schepke gave one to Horst Plenk who was the son of long distance ski-er Toni Plenk.

Here are the pictures. So what do you think? BTW, the flag on my U-boat was replaced by a tin version made by Elastolin.

Regards,

Jody

Hi Guys,

Thank you. There is also an eagle and swastika on the conning tower. The little U-boat is made by Arnold.

Regards,

Jody

Jody,

Great looking toy! Your next purchase should be U-534 - hopefully somebody can save her...
