PS it's a 1/72nd scale Wiener kit & looked even better in (model) real life at the Telford show a few years ago than it does in the picture. Just right for Fat Otto.

Hey Russell
You're entirely right, perfect for Herr Otto :)
It's a most beautiful resin kit. Otto has this one in his stash and one of Peter's submarines as well. Love these Wiener Modellbau kits. I think the Adler would be several months in the build. When I need some modelling inspiration, I Google photos of Peter's ships to re-charge my batteries.
I don't think the kits are too expensive. Weiner Modellbau is a small cottage manufacturer, it's a case of you get what you pay for. In this case it's just some of the most beautiful resin in my collection. I like supporting the small guys, I've also learned to pounce on their products like a piece of cheese.
Get your models while the getting is good; I landed the Adler while the Aussie dollar was above parity, never regretted pouncing on this one.
I might take some more pictures of the Wiener kits on my next days off.
