While the model might not be “150% accurate” it is a reasonably accurate model, especially considering when it was first manufactured. True, the Revell 1/72 and 1/144 scale kits are more so, but they were created much more recently using much more modern technology. The “U-505” kit, although not U-505, is a well-shaped and proportioned kit that can easily be upgraded using aftermarket products or simple scratch-building will raise it to “the next level”.

Nice picture Capnmac. When I was in Norfolk I didnt even know there was a museum there. But that was 84 to 86.
That’s rom April 2019. The museum is across from USS Whiskey.
Did Revell ever do a Type IX in 1/144? I’ve been looking to build one to tow behind my 1/144 USS Guadalcanal (CVE-60). The closest I’ve found to date is the old Nichimo motorized toy/model, which claims to be 1/150. I could use it, but I’d prefer something a little less toy like. I figure most folks will only see the bits above the waterline, but I’d still like to get rid of the overscale parts…
That’s cool. Fantastic work. [Y][Y]

My wife upgraded my “Pixelmator” program for Mac to “Pro” for Christmas. I was playing around with it and was really awestruck at what can be don with this. Here is a layered graphic of my U-Boat diorama against a painting by Kenneth King. Pretty dang cool !!
Looks great;very realistic weathering!
Very nice job on the water effects.
We need to see more unterseebooten here.
Un-ter-see’-booten
