Title: 1/45th scale u-boat markings.
Post by: type1x on February 04, 2008, 11:54:18 pm
I am trying to locate some U-Boat markings for my Engel type iX U-Boat. Does anyone know of a supplier or anyone who can supply some suitable transfers/decals for this scale?

Also I know that this subject has been covered before on the forum but is there anywhere here in the UK that make a watertight servo? I want to make the controls more precise by fitting watertight servos in the free flooding area of the boat rather than have long linkages running to the rudder, dive planes etc.  8)

these are 1:35th scale but don't  know if you could eather use them
or scale them down using a photocopier and make them out of paper and
varnish them so as they are waterproof

Thanks guys. I will give them both a try.  :)

It would be nice to get some sort of insignia on the IX.
