And now for something very different ... The first large scale sub under 1/350 I have attempted to do. U24 of Type 206a coastal sub from Deutsche Bundesmarine. Used Vallejo primers (grey and black) and a mixture (~10-1) of neutral grey and raw sienna for the unusual overall color. It has a definite reddish tint when in certain lighting conditions. I was sceptical as to what exactly Revell wanted me to mix but experimented some and they got it really spot on. It did bring me a very entertaining distraction from usual projects.
Thanks for viewing

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

For a sub is has quite an interesting shape, very whale like.

James, I agree with you, there is something definitely whale-ish about their silhouettes.

Either that or he ran into something and crumpled the bow up

That looks fantastic Marek, excellent painting and subtle weathering have really put life into it.
