9. Kriegsmarine Flag

The last touch for completing the sub was the Kriegsmarine (German naval) flag. I hand-drew the Swastikas on the sides of the kit flag, carefully cut out the flag with a sharp Xacto blade, then used Weldbond to glue the flag to either side of cigarette-pack foil. After the glue dried (only a few minutes), I cut out the flag ‘sandwich’ and added folds to the flag so it appears to be draped/hanging; the foil allows the flag to keep its shape. I then attached the flag to the flagpole using fine wire to simulate the flag rope.
