JBeltram Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 (edited) 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 Edited April 22, 2007 by JBeltram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
