German Type IXc U-Boat

1/200 TYPE IXc German U-Boat (Nichimo)

This is the Nichimo 1/200 scale kit of a Type IX-C Kriegsmarine U-Boat.  Inspired by some artwork in the Squadron Signal book "U Boats in Action," I painted it in Mediterranean camouflage - a nice change of pace from gray.  This is an excellent kit - finely detailed and well molded. You even get two small crew figures.

Like all my models, it's brush painted and except for the rigging and cable cutter, built straight from the box.
