1/350 ARA Santa Fe S-21 (AFV Club)
This time it’s the submarine ARA Santa Fe (S-21), which served
in the Argentine Navy from 1972 until her loss in the Malvinas/Falklands
War in 1982. I used the AFV club kit for the Guppy II class submarine,
but I had to make several modifications to the model to match the original.
To do this, the limber holes and the whole deck were rebuilt with homemade
photoetched parts, the anchor location was changed from port to starboard
and the liferaft container was scratchbuilt. To paint the model I used
Tamiya acrylics and weathering was done with oils.
