| Net Cutter
Hi all,
Yes it's been a while but i ran out of steam on this build for a while and needed to take a break from it.
But, i'm back on it after seeing the progress being made by Glenn Buckner on his build of U-249, bet you never expected that, eh Glenn!?
Cutting folding and glueing up the PE net cutter from the Eduard set, it became apparent that using the kit struts, as indicated in the Eduard intructions would be a poor substitute for the 'more to scale' brass rod i had.
Believe me when i say that this was alot easier to say/think than it was to do! The placement and angles of the struts were taken from a photo of u-69, taking in to account that somthings on the Revell kit just don't add up when compared to the real deal! I quite happy with the way it turned out in the end and once painted up and weathered should fit in well with the rest of the boat.
