Naval vessels.

Post your naval vessels here. Ships, boats, subs, any era, any nation.

Late war Type XXIII U-Boat in 1/72 scale. Its a multi-media kit, part injection moulded plastic, part resin and part etched brass.

A look down into the conning tower (pardon the shaky hand). Not much room in there

[Jim Baker]

Hi Gordon,

Very nice!

Is this the boat from "Special Navy"??

Thank you for posting it. It's only fitting you should have the first post here.

[Gordon Williamson]

Yup, its the Special Navy kit . They are releasing a Type II at some point which should be rather nice if this Type XXIII is anything to go by.

Here is a 1/35 "Hecht" mini-sub as used by the Kleinkampfmittelverb?nde.

[Jim Baker]

Nice. I think you are luring me into the iron coffins.

I'll just try and pretend they are tanks without tracks.

Hello

I would like to show you my model of the "Kursk". It's built from the Tamiya kit. I hope you like it.

gordon are yours both kits? and snoopy did you have to cut the model in half or came in half form ?

Chris,

Yes, the Type XXIII is a standard plastic moulded kit in 1/72 so goes well with the Revell Type VII. It has additional parts in resin and photo-etched brass so is really classed as "multi-media". Its from Czech manufacturer MPM in their "Special Navy" range, but widely available in the UK. The "Hecht" is a solid resin cast kit by Verlinden.

Hello Chris

Sorry for taking so long time to answer your question. The Kursk is a model from Tamiya, and it came as a waterline model.
