And it has to be added, that this model just ranked 2nd in the large ships class in the modeling competition held this weekend in Poznań. Congratulations once again, Filip!

Beautifully done Filip, and very neat links, I spent some time looking through the lists and photos of the U-Boat Commanders and the histories of the various U-Boats. A well deserved win in Poznan as well!
Cheers,
Lance

Many thanks my friends!

I`m supposed to get the Flower Corvette in 1/72 as the prize for this model in another competition but frankly speaking I would prefer one in 1/144.
Best regards
Filip
