First of all, I'm sorry but I can't write in Czech...

I usually build planes and land vehicles, WWII stuff most of the time. This was my first finished maritime model and it was a very pleasant exercise. Once I peaked inside the box I was amazed by the amount of detail this model has for only 5 euro, therefore I brought it home and immediately started building it.

The model was airbrushed with a mix of Tamiya paints, some details were brushpainted with Vallejo, the weathering was done with oil paint and everything was sealed with Testors Dullcoat.

What a nice tiny submarine. I like the weathering
How long did you do it?
Maybe, for the next time, you should consider replacement of the plastic railing, which is too thick, by some wire or photo-etch. And where are the periscopes?

Thank you for your comment : )

It took me 3 or 4 hours, not counting the drying time. I don't know what kind of aftermarket parts are available but next time I'll look for railings and figures. I chose to model the periscopes not-extended.

This is it, finished and with a nice, simple base.

Until next time

What a great finish!!! I like your "micro" sub much. I have one so, but she wait for right time in case.

Thank you! These kits are very nice: cheap, simple to build and they look like the real thing. I also have some Hobbyboss plane kits and they follow the same philosophy.

By the way, you're blog looks very good, I'm going to subscribe. You should add a "translator" widget, that would be make it easier for us : )
