Building the OTW Type VIIc/41 Conning Tower

Building an OTW kit is neither for the beginner modeler. You don’t get to break off parts from a plastic tree and glue them to each other. It requires several disciplines in advance modeling. If you are a modeler that wants an awesome challenge to take your skills to the next level. Then an OTW kit is the kit for you.

You will need to know how to work with (or at least want to learn how to work with), urethane resin, epoxy resin, mold duplicating, fiberglass lay-up, automotive fillers, and knowledge of cyanoacrylic /cyanoacrylate (CA) glues.
