Subs are black... Right?

[BLT]

Hello I'm new here.

Been trying to get back into the hobby for some time now. I've been spending some time on getting all my modeling accessories up to date... My old humbrol paints are over 20 years old... Most of them are still going strong tho.

I have however gone the tamyia way now, as water-based is somewhat less toxic... Granted the lacquer based humbrols where amazing, but still rather harsh to work with.

Anyway, I've had this thing for a couple of years, thinking it'd be easy to build... I've finally gotten around to it.

Looking at photos of these things I noticed that they where alot more weathered that I originally thought. Some of them had some sort of module on the side... Which mine unfortunately didn't have, I did how ever like the look of it, so I took some liberties with the paint job.

Is that the Airfix model, by any chance?

I love the weathering on it. Came up very nicely.

The Bronco one... And thank you very much

BLT - I've not seen the bronco model. Not much into the hobby shop thing at the moment. Funds very restricted. Going into a hobby shop is a recipe for hunger. Thanks for letting me know. I'll keep an eye out for it next time I drop by my LHS. And you are welcome.

It was dirt cheap... I'm aware that it varies from country to country... But in Denmark everything is generally expensive... Sadly.

I may by another one and do it up in the correct colors.

I'm also a big fan of the astute class subs.

Good to know BLT. Cheap for me is good.

I like the look of the things and the organic lines of the submarine.
