About 12 years ago we took the kids to the Museum of Science and Industry in downtown Chicago. We took a tour through the U-505 submarine which was captured by the U.S. Navy on 4 June 1944. Back then I purchased the Yankee Modelworks 1/350 TYPE IXC U-BOAT full resin kit. This sat on the shelf for many years. I decided to finally build it as the U-505. While being full resin there is not a lot of assembly but there is a sheet of photo etches to detail it. I added some details I needed to scratch build and decals to made specifically for the U-505. I also made a nice display stand as well.
You can see all the photos and details from start to finish in the build log at: 1/350 TYPE IXC U-BOAT
