Hi Paul,
Interesting sub and one I remember from Ebay. I seemed to think at the time that it looked like it needed a bit of TLC. Why did you sell it after putting all that work into it?
I am also in the process of making the Revell model but I actually prefer to make a surface runner out of this kit. The only diving ones I have seen all seem to be ballasted to deck level which is such a waste of all that lovely detail. I have ballasted mine to normal water line and I am going to have some crew on the bridge with pennants flying etc to give it a bit more presence on the pond. I just want to show off as much of the model as possible.
What dive system are you going to fit? It will be interesting to see how you make yours and compare it with mine. Have a look at how mine is progressing in the thread I started for it. Unfortunately it is all on hold until I am home again but I hope it shouldn't be too long before it is ready to sail.
