Miniature “Submarine Commander” (1:24 scale)

Miniature — WWII Kriegsmarine Submarine Commander with an Iron Cross (scale 1:24).

Despite the fact that this character served against the background of the Nazi Third Reich, the image of the captain of the U-boat is almost always shown as heroic. It is worth watching the movie “Das Boot”, which shows the difficult service of these people. Many of them were truly heroes, and among them were those who were not members of the Nazi party (see the book “Steel Coffins”).

Painted by airbrush, paints — Vallejo. The stand is filled with acrylic resin.

The periscope is painted in standard colors of the “interior” of a German submarine type 7, and indeed any submarine of that time. The effect “Chipping Medium” from Vallejo is used on parts of the interior of the submarine.

The manufacturer of the original miniature is Andrea Miniatures.
