vlydog Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Welcome Michael. I have never had a problem with substandard finishing on any of my reps. Is your does your U-boat have a black coating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike on a bike Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Michael no problems on mine either ,maybe you got a bad one. Well welcome aboard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3nj4min3 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 I've not had any issues with mine either. Can you post a picture of the finishing that's fading away. If the finish is simply brushed Stainless Steel all I can think of is either it's been scuffed or oxidised (however oxidation of SS under normal conditions doesn't make sense unless it had been exposed to a high moisture environment under high pressure/heat. I believe steel can oxidise under the extreme pressures in deep dive scenarios (however I have no experience with this at all) and I doubt you used the U-Boat for deep diving. It does seem, as Mike said, that you simply got a bad one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
