All the more so when you think less than 70 years seperates HMS M1 from the Typhoon and both were the biggest submarines of their day.

I know what you mean. Its like comparing a SE5 from WW1 with an F15 Eagle. Both have the same job but tracing the DNA is a tough ask!

Such a shame there's no Ohio SSBN available. It might have stopped the Typhoon being such a bully!

Hobby Boss do (did?) one but at the moment it's made from unobtanium!!
I've registered with KingKits so if they get one in I'll be notified. Same on Scalemates.

RangerNeil-Nice collection!
