Moin, Moin Holger. Die, auf der das Boot präsentiert wird. Auf dem ersten Bild noch in grauem Plastik zu sehen.

Ach so! Das Ding wird selbstverständlich noch lackiert. Ich weiß allerdings noch nicht genau wie. Alclad wird es schon richten.😢

Bin gespannt wie es weiter geht. Die Alterung ist wirklich auch gut geworden.

Thx Martin! 🙂
No, Priens boat was a very early Typ VII. This is U 1004. No 8,8cm but more AA. Thanks for watching; )

I didn't know that the 'mad cow' was used by other captains as well. Learned something new today. That's a good day. Thanks

The fourth u boat flotilla used the mad cow as their callsign, after Priens ambush at Scapa Flow. Very interesting is the fact that the, the captain of 1004 was de-promoted to rank of a private. He did not make enough sunken BRT after coming back to La Rochelle.
Crazy isn't it?

Wow, nice one Holly, this really needs a central spot in your household ! Very attractive 👍

Thanks for the history lesson Holger. It sounds crazy to demote a captain to private, perhaps XO was better. But the regime at that time isn't known for making logical decisions.

Excellent work so far Holger 👍 What was your source about the degradation of U-1004's CO?

I live in Kiel, close to Laboe and Möltenort so models of u-boats always attract my attention. And you made a real beautiful one.
