Gulfstream Collection Type VIIc U-Boat in 1/350

Modeling Subjects Ships
1

This kit has been in my stash for about 15 years (maybe more). It’s a resin kit produced by Commander Series Models, Inc. I don’t even know if they’re in business anymore. I got inspired to build it after watching Das Boot recently and due to its simplicity it was a very quick build. I did some research on the website U-boat.net to get some ideas for the colors and level of weathering.

Thanks for looking

Nice ! [:D]

I like the subtle weathering on the hull.

I saw a 1/350 scale Revell Germany Type VII c at the LHS and was wondering how big the a Type VII might be in that scale.

You are definitely tempting me to build at least one sub in that scale.

I haven’t assembled a sub kit since the AURORA U-505.

Spruce,

Thanks for the compliment. These little U-boats are great little models. The Revell one is supposed to be nice.

Great job! Love to build em just gotta get busy! I do like the large scale models though.

That’s a lovely job! And so tiny! Holy moly!

LeeTree, thanks for the nice words. The model was much smaller than I expected. The real subs were quite small themselves.

By the way, the 1/350 Type VII’s are great little kits as well. They make the VII-C and Type VII-D.

Wayne,

Beautiful build and amazingly small. I am in awe how you built something that small.

Steve,

Thanks for the kind words. It was a fun but I’m not sure if I’ll build something this small again anytime soon.

Cheers,

Wayne
