Just a note for you guys"

This kit is $99.99.. a nice piece of solid resin all except the detail parts: the prop guard supports (which I replaced with styrene), the hatches, levers and controls in the wheelhouse, which were unusable and the salon window frames. All those parts mentioned are very very brittle and break easy. all those parts have alot of flash as well and are hard to cleanup without breaking them!!.

Stunning finish, sir. It really looks like a metal prop from the film and not a resin kit. Or, dare I say, a "real" sub from 1890?

Looked like a lot of work to fit, sand, and color. Just fantastic. :bow:: :bow:: :bow:: :bow::

Stunning, im gobsmacked, she came out just perfect.
The rusting process is something i really want to have a go at, though maybe on a smaller scale for starters.
Congratulations on a superb completion.
