Post by: redboat219 on November 11, 2014, 01:44:18 pm

A nice build of Revell's 1/72 Type VII utilizing a windshield washer pump/ closed tank equipped with a pinch valve at a Spanish site.

But the finished product looks impressive.
The cost of parts for that conversion is pretty low compared to some of the other options avaialble.


I have the same sub, with the Norbert Bruggen kit to build one day
