PanzerTragflugelboot

[Dr. Yo]

or "Armored Hydrofoil Boat" . This is very much a What-if, based very
loosely on a few of the greman Hydrofoils of WW 2.

This is where I started, with the front end of some old Revell
'box scale' cruiser, some wings parts, and the top half of a
JagdTiger.

Patching and puttying and adding the guns came next

Basic paint was styled after the standard S-Boot scheme. I'd seen
color profiles that showed the lower hull in dark grey, which worked
perfectly with the 'whale mouth' ( loosely modeled on a Sperm Whale)
scheme I had in mind.

From here, I need to do a bit of weathering ( and since I'm kind of weak on ship weathering, I'm open to suggestions ) add a few details, and tack the aft flak gun back in the well, and its on to the next build.

Oh, and a prompt on how to add the thumbnail to the topic title in the section contents would be appreciated.

Thank you kindly! Should have it finished this weekend. Still trying to figure out how to
drop an image into the thread title...( Looked through the FAQ and couldn't find anything, dang it. But I miss
things sometimes )

I'm also working on the old Special Hobby B&V P. 215, designed as a nightfighter, but
I'm giveing it beaucoup bombs and building it as a dive bomber. New thread sometime
over the weekend. ( I hope. )
