| thanks for the comments, the boat was made as a show piece, although she is fitted out as fully remote controlled, she was built over a pretty short period of time, for the first 6 weeks at 18 hours per day 7 days a week to get it to kit standard but then she was built to the admiralty plans which took a further 8 months on and off to get the detail on for the Blackpool show, a further 100 or so fittings was added to her to get the finer details of how she would have actually been when she sailed out of the dock yard in 1942. |
