Seehund 1/35 Bronco- work begins.

After clearing the desk following the VW build i reached for the Bronco's Seehund in 1/35 scale.


First thing i always do is get myself familiar with the instructions manual.

I joined the two halves together.
It should be straightforward build i think.

Inside of the conning tower was scratch built


The seaman put together with few spare parts, and the Hornet head


The figure fits nicely into the tube

I riveted the top of the conning tower using Archer Fine Transfers rivets, and added the panel lines.
Anti slip plate was also added around the periscope, and couple of handles.


Peryscope was built from scratch using some brass tubing. Added the weld lines near the lifting hooks, and on top of segment no. 2 of the pressure hull. 
Dive planes, and stoppers were also added.
I sprayed the primer in search of imperfections.
Small base was built to help handle, and later display the model.
