U-552 & Bismarck

I'm restoring these two models at the moment both got badly damaged when

they were knocked off a shelf. Bismarck iv'e managed to restore to 99%.

Is the u-boat the Revell kit? If so I built one ages ago based on the U-552 also.

very nice, I think model ships are great, nothing worse than when things fall off the shelf

Yes it's the Revell kit, sorry Greg I did'nt take one before I started to

restore it. The damage was mainly to the conning tower area, everything was

snapped off, the railings and the anti-aircraft gun were shattered, the bow

and rear planes and rudders were also snapped off, the only thing that did'nt

break was the deck gun, i'll post you a photo when it's finished.

Missing is the symbol on the bows deck - which can be seen in original photos, even on the wreck this is still visible.
