Week two of the U-505 was spent detailing the conning tower with all of the kits photo etch parts. I was able to get the submarine painted in the original IXC tri-color scheme and I created the decals for the U-505.
I am working on the display base now. The brass etched nameplate from EnM Engraving arrived this week. I just need to sand and finish the wood base. Once the submarine gets mounted I can install all the rigging to complete the model.
You can see all the photos and details from the start in the build log at: 1/350 TYPE IXC U-BOAT
