- This is a fairly in-depth overview about how I chose to paint and weather the RC builudp of this Type VIIC uboat model.
For many other projects like this, please visit my website at www.nautilusdrydocks.com. Feel free to email me any time at bob@rc-sub.com with questions or comments.
Thanks for watching!
What a fantastic job mate I've been modeling for over 50yrs and this is one of the best modeling skills I've seen in a long time. Congratulations 👍
That my friend is an awesome Uboot! Great detail. A masterpiece!!.
BEAUTIFUL MODEL , AND , BUILD ... EXCEPT , FOR THAT DAMN SNOWBALL FLAG ! !
You have done a masterful job on this boat, Bob!
I always enjoy your videos...always masterpieces Bob.
I've been inside a type VIIC - U-995, it was at the Laboe naval memorial in Germany. It was quite cramped on the inside, but an interesting experience to be inside a real Type VII, I would highly recommend the museum.
well so beautiful model, stunning painting and weathering, very nice job you've done in the sub, I'd like to send some help my suggestion is to invert the propellers, these submarines turned props outboard to pull ahead, so as you've put the reverse, the prop with left hand blades is to be port, and right hand to be starboard, that is more correct and real.
nice work Bob!
Hey man, I´m from Brazil and I liked your job!!
Just amazing work! Keep it up!
Nice painting tips will use this on my first German Uboat :)
this is my U-boat I talked to Bob about a year ago I decided what I wanted & he finished up his current projects & went with this model very happy !!!
That submarine is beautiful. You made it look like it had been screwed up by real rain and shine.
Hi Bob,best yet great effect.Bill in Ireland.
You did a great job here - looks really good. A very minor suggestion is to add a bit of marine fouling (sea grass) along the waterline. I've done this by "dry stippling" using a mid to dark green. [The reason: antifouling paints weren't that effective back then and usually seagrass would appear after 4 moths or so on the hull after the boat was in the water..]
Très beau travail
Good paiting

Is this you show here the same kit as the Trumpeter 1:48th-scale model of the DKM (Deutsche Kriegsmarine [German War Navy]) Type VIIc Unterseeboot [under sea boat] U-boat U-552 (corrected here for spelling)?
I would like to build one of these that a 1:48th-scale model of a Convair PBY-1 Liberator USN Convoy Patrol Bomber (from the Hobby Boss kit of the Consolidated B-24D Liberator USAAF Heavy Bomber) engaging it with a pair of depth charges. The water blast would extend over 60 metres (200 ft) to the vertical, which in this scale would be round 1.25 metres (over four feet)!
I watch this video once a week.. your attention too detail amazing! Thank you !
Put the swastika on the flag or leave it off completely. The flag ruins the looks of the model. Awesome job btw.
puff some fine ground charcoal...that gives the surface a battle wary look..........
A German u-boat is my favorite submarine
Wao..!
Very impressive model and the tooth paste trick is good.!
The flag without the swastica is not historical . better leave , the flag is used only in the harbour , never in open sea . Great work
but fantasy model .
Of course I know that the flag is missing the swastika. You have no idea the backlash that I and other have received over displaying the swastika on models or even playing the kriegsmarine anthem in the background of one of our videos. The flag came like that from the manufacturer, likely for those same reasons.
The model is displayed in harbor trim. What is fantasy about that? 99% of it's time will be on a display shelf, not in the water.
You could try using weathering products from AK interactive or Mig Ammo if you want to. But great weathering!, the Arkmodel U-boat is definitely on my wish list for Christmas.
Toothpaste is interesting I use chipping medium and then just toothpicks and Q-tips
Congratulations friend, amazing and fantástic job. This submarine is giant, I enjoy your vídeo. I send you a strong hug from México City.
Currently building Lindberg’s 1/72 IJN I -53 Japanese submarine. Want to thank you very much for all the tips. You did a beautiful job on it. But honestly the company (not you) that builds it is charging way to much. When you said the price ($500 USD) I thought for sure it was the cut-a-way version with the detailed interior. Mine is 58.5 inches finished and I paid about half that in Canadian dollars, which would be about $190 USD. You should put the swastika on it. It’s history and the hell with these SJW’s and their safe spaces. People need to grow a set. This is historical fact, and facts don’t care about you feelings. But again beautiful build and thanks for all you advice.👍👍🇨🇦
Hi bob, can you give your paint reference ? Nice job . Hello from France
You paid such attention to detail but either did not put, or you blocked out the swastika on the naval flag. If you are going to do a WWII German U-Boat, you have to make it authentic. Political correctness will be the death of us.
I agree, Warren. The flag was the one supplied with the kit. Too many people prefer to ignore our history, whitewash it and pretend it didn't happen. Provided we learn from the mistakes we, as a race, make, we should not hide from our past.
Hi Bob, you make reference to pastels in your painting instructional video .Here in the UK they would be seen as pencils with chalk centres, but yours appears to be something else. What do you use?
They're called chalk pastels here.
Amazing rust work! I'm currently building a rusted tugboat; these tips will help immensely!

Wow Bob great job you've done there an amazing piece. Good music too.
Which Color you used for the Airbrush stripes ? ( min 8:00)
Loks awesome your Paintjob !
I Start with weathering next week,first time i use a Airbrush,hope it will be good ..
I get annoyed with the scale sizes nowadays I used to work in 1.24 model cars years ago that's what I started off with then stopped for 10 or so years family started now back into it even bigger with 1.35 sca military kits I got a 1.35 patrol boat it is so cool i wanted it in a larger scale so found one in a 1.48 its beautiful n only 60 bucks for the kit, but this is whare it gets annoying I got a 1.48 scale Matilda 2 tank thinking it would go with the size and shes smaller than the 1.35 tanks I was so peed off! I don't understand why they do this make it larger in ships! If my 1.35 patrol boat was tiny I'd understand that the 1.48 is ment to ba an accurate scales of the the real thing but the 1.35 goes with the 1.35 sized tanks n atv armored vehicles etc I do!? So yeh annoyed at kinda wasting money on the Matilda 1.48 when shes smaller than the 1.35!
I love the Trumpeter uboat for around 450 with the leds and open hull with the clear panel side so you can see all the crew and details that kit looks absolutely stunning I love this u boat in either kit I'm saving one just now but keep dipping into it buying other kits and the new modern resin figures for my British husky atv diarama for Iraq
Great work my friend! I got a German Submarine TYPE IXC-40 (U 190) that what will I start. Great tips!

What paint do you use
I just want to buy one built!!!
Did I hear Wright $500 for the model kit and no brass etched parts?
Thank you for these video.
Maximum Respect. You are Master.I never did this weathering,but i wanna learn it.I always have some excuses like》Oh my modell has no weathing cause it it is new and coming straight out of Bloom and Voß😁
However i should learn this on a smaller modell and then when i know how to do it,goin to a bigger modell.
Anyway.Great Work🔝
Боги,как они красивы❤️
ok, I understand your issue. What I meant is that you could simply avoid to add a flag to increase historical fidelity, because it was mainly used while staying in the harbour for political propaganda and was removed on action. Anyway, great work!
hate the fact that hitler ruined a religious symbol meant for buddism...
I live in Charlotte County. Could I come by and see what you have for sale? And I would love to see your shop? JC Rotonda West, Florida
I only have two questions can apply this to different scales such as 1/72 nd scale and does it smell minty fresh.
did you use airbrush?
Yes, lightly for weathering panel lines and recesses. The rest was spray paint, pastels and acrylics.
Well done. Torpedo los!
Hi there. Considering to get one but yes I have a few concerns about quality like you mentioned in the video because it's made in China...?
Do you have any video showing the construction sites explaining everything in detail, such as where do we have to really be careful, and so forth, because I never made a RC sub...so I'm trying to gather up knowledges/skills how to handle these RC subs. before buying and doing something.
Thank you
A full buildup front to back? No, sorry. I don't have one for this boat. The hull goes together exceptionally well, however, just like a big plastic model kit.
Beautiful Bob. Wish I was that talented. Customer must be well pleased BTW, it was a pleasure meeting you.
Donde puedo encontrar las ametrayadoras del submarino las estoy buscando
just saying but there would be a tone of rust around the breech and in the breech where the water drained out
Outstanding
Nice job. Congratulations.
great video. new to the hobby. just one comment. spraying your garden hose with power meter behind it.... 99 out of 100 times probably no problem. but then there's that other time.
Oh heavens! Guess I should build a shed around it in case it rains, too, right? ;P
Real hot shot Tips!...thanks a lot . As a modeler I really appreciated it.
Really great job! Well done. I learned many useful tips. Tnx.
Looks brilliant. Great skills 👍🏻

Thanks for helping me do this maybe I'll subscribe to you
Wow Mate, very talented great job and good tips.
Well done, I'll try this on my own model (german submarine type ix c/40). this video will help.
leendert from the netherlands
nice work with your submarine - i love it how you done your work - fantastic !!!!!!!!! great job - pls more
Where is your shop in Naples? What is it called.
May i ask in your opinion, are the moulded details too heavy for a 1/48 type vii? i m quite torn between this arkmodel and engel's type vii. thank you for sharing your video. very nice work.
I find the details just fine, myself, but I'm not a stickler for rivet-by-rivet accuracy. If you're after a perfect model, this is not it. If you're after a perfect model for R/C, this is close. I find having slightly larger details on things such as rivets a benefit for R/C operation as you're operating at a large distance and small details get lost. I highly recommend the Arkmodel kit.
Ware on the bote is the vent for balist tanks go
You screwed up. Submarines don’t streak or rust below the waterline. Check your references.
Hmm... I don't see a lot of streaking in my below waterline weathering, and I'd sure love to understand how you think a WW2 submarine doesn't rust under the waterline.
Perhaps you could point us all toward the gallery of fine models you yourself have produced so that we can all stand amazed at the quality of your work?

hi have you always been good at modelling..ive just started and I suck..great job..thx mark from the uk..
MARK ATKINS RC Absolutely not! Everything I know I taught myself or learned from others. It's taken me 17 years to get to this point. Don't get discouraged!

thank you for the painting ideas, I really like the acrylic medium and pastel. I figure chalk dust would work similarly? and have been any attempts at fpv subs? a camera in the conning tower would be a great perspective, or is it too much of an issue with water?
Unfortunately, wireless video signals are in the GHz range, and as such do not penetrate water at all. I find it much better to simply mount an HD camera in/on the boat and download the video back on shore. I have several videos that feature onboard footage such as my recent Type VII in 1/32 scale (Maiden Voyage)
RCSubGuy right! I hadn't thought of the signal issue, though I figured it had to be a technical problem, every hobby seems to be adding fpv view to a wireless headset after the popularity of drones. but running an umbilical isn't exactly practical to maintain signal heh.
Fantastico . De museo..
Exelente work exelente congradelations
owsome,great and thnx for charing o/ ;)
nice job I'll try that on mine

Sorry your background music is too high. It is covering you up. Good luck.
Fantastic Job pal !!
nice video bob, ps i'm looking forward on testing an trimming my engel akula.
Excellent work man! This is helpful
about the flag youtube regulations!😶
What happens if the U-Boat has just come out of the builders and gets bombed.by allied fighter bombers? Then there would be no rust.
Please, please, please, turn the music down.
artists masking fluid..............................................
Too much weathering. Much too much.
LOL... says who? It's my boat and I'll do what I please. You can paint yours like some kind of drydock queen if you want.
