i sold it to fund some other model stuff, my girlfriend is disabled and we don't get a lot of money , so if i need modelling bits i have to sell a model to fund my hobby, i toke me just over a week to put back together, i had to rebuild the rear deck with filler and then recut the slots with a dremmel , both guns were built from scratch , the conning tower was copyed from the revell kit , i cut out all of the slots in the hull , as when i did the first test run before i did any work on it , it would'nt sink propperly, it was a sod to ballast , and i could only get a 6volt gel cell in so the running was very slow on the two 385 motors, as to the revell one , a friend works for a medical company in the electronics side , he repairs testing machines with small pumps in from 3volt up 12 volt , he gave me four of the 3 volt ones , they are only 2" long by 1" diameter, and have a high pressure rate , and he also gave me some one way valves,i have yet to test these to pump water , i will let you know how i get on , i had a look at yours and was interested in the deck , but when i got the price i decided to stick with the plastic one .just added some more pics.
