I was able to get the Revell version of the 1/72 Skipjack yesterday here in Hong Kong. The kit comes in a box which is the same size they use for...

Good man Alec, and if I may say so - nice job on the sub. I'd suggest for your next outing you head down to the swimming pool. Lake...

Thanks John and yes our bath is more than deep enough. Maybe one day I'll actually use it for its intended purpose... lol Even with a bout of the...

Alec - first sorry re your your name. Take your time on ballasting - yes please do seize the bath tub. Make sure the tub is deep enough to get...

Mr Warpatroler, you are correct about the adding of the limber holes on 18. here she is on the barge on her side along with u20. I wonder why they...

Assuming you have no trapped air, and the CG is bang in the centre of the ballast tank, then it sounds to me you will have to add some buoyancy at...

That's a bit harsh!

I turned off his PM function because the w a n k e r never looked at them.

Time for an idiotic question... I am really strugling with the c.o.b & c.o.g. I thought it was just me at my first public outing a couple of...

After looking closer at the picture of the lookouts on the bridge, I notice the gun mount is a post 43 with the off set shoulder pads. This mount was...
