    No it is a pretty bad mistake. Every photo of a Luftwaffe plane has the swastika at a right angle as welf pointed out. As, it is only going up on my ceiling, it wont matter but if i was entering her in a competition, i would have got huge marks taken off.

    My thanks to welf for pointing out my mistake with the swastika and i now have corrected it. I slowly loosened the decal with some micro soft and turned it round and i now have to wait till the decal drys and i can weather it. Once again, many thanks welf.

    Nicely done, I didn't think that would come off very easily
    How many models have you made now?

    That makes the whole plane look awesome and authentic. At first I was thinking should I mention it. It worried me a bit. But it turned out great.

    A good job purple. Great build

    Intresting that you have an intrest in U-boats welf. I have been pondering for a while to get a 1/48 DKM U-Boat Type VIIC U-552 made by Trumpiter. But it is HUGE and costs over £300 to buy what with the photo etch and rasin parts. It would be my mount Everest of kits.

    I looked that kit up and what a great looking kit is that. The price is high I agree

    I do not know where my facination with U boats comes from. But I was always drawn to them.

    This is a youtube video I liked recently:

    I love the history of you boats welf. The wolf pack they were called if i'm right?
    The detail of that sub is amazing welf. You even get an officers lounge and a cut away bridge that has a plastic side so you can display your work. I watched the video. Very good.

    When you hear about the death toll on German subs its chilling. I believe one in four made it home. And smaller subs, like the Biber they deployed near the end of the war lost almost all sailors.

    Wolf packs was a tactic they used later on in the war. First they went about alone but when allied ships started to make bigger convoys the subs made groups to hunt the convoys down. They where called wolfpacks.
