Well, we can only hope that the gfx are on that level in 12 yrs

Anyway,
here's my type VIIC-41 (lenght: 1.7m, weight 13kg), still unfinished:

leaving the harbour in heavy weather, lets hope those d*mned enemy A/C don't show up


on the way to the assigned sector, weather's getting better


destroyers detected...ALARM!!!


waiting for the waterbombs, parked on the ground


still waiting




I think they gave up, surfacing to check...



ok, they've dissappeared, let's continue to the sector



waiting for the prey...if there wouldn't be a war going on, we could enjoy the mood...


still waiting..where is the convoy?



it's getting dark...and more moody


unfortunately, no convoy on this mission. But hey, we are alive.
On the way home, we meet with U-995 to exchange the latest news from the "heimat"


Unfortunately, U-995 was sunk shortly after we met.

Fortunately, this isn't WWII, and some very friendly divers managed to rescue my friends U-Boat from 3m of depth after a week.

S! to those brave divers!



OK, that's it. I hope you enjoyed this little trip to the waterworld. IL-2 rocks!

So, in 2020, the scale between man & machine will be off by a factor of few thousand!? Those divers are freakin' huge!

Or, they're Nazi engineered super humans! Either way, it's historically inaccurate, and deserves nothing less than complete contempt from the community!

LOL!

Nice Unterseeboot there m8! It looked like she was taking on water in those last photographs as the sun was setting!

Ha,ha nice idea with the thread. And some real beaut photos too.

Thats pretty cool. Nice pics.

Incredible!

I havent seen anything like it. Is it a kit you purchase?

My favorite is the 9th shot with Nessie looking on in the background.

Nessie was torpedoed shortly after the pic was taken. Easy kill

joe,
i got the hull from ebay for a nice price. It's originally from a manufacturer called hasse . A few years ago, the manuf. was called "Schaffer". That's the name that is still usually connected with this kit.

Amazing,

So the hull is designed with motor mounts, or at least enough room to add your own servos and such?

Yes, it is.
There is room, but there's not much of it:

that's how I bought it:


motors:


rear section with rear tank (selfmade):
