Tiger, subs are pretty demanding and can very easily get very expensive. If the price stays low then have a go but I wouldn't pay too much for it.

Also bear in mind that a dynamic diver has to be ballasted to be at about decks awash draught so you don't always see a great deal of the model when surfaced and they are a lot more involved to sail. Good for getting the hang of and if you can get one cheap then worth having a play with but be carefull.

I got my fingers burned with my first U-Boat. It was a Robbe U-47 but not very well put together and a constant souce of frustration. I did learn a lot from it though, which was its main purpose, but it cost 300.00 quid which was too much for it's condition.
