The current submarine fleet consists of:
Engel Typhoon
North Seas Fleet Kilo
Small World Models Kilo
Sheerline Trafalgar class
Krick U25
R&R Resolution (2) 1 being the earlier 'short hull' version and the other the longer hull still in kit form
Norbert Bruggen UB1 (the next one to be started)
Robbe Seawolf

Plus a couple of 'targets' suitable for the days when the pond level is too low for subs!

The link to the video of the first tank test:

Apologies for the quality - I've not used the video function on my Pentax Optio 4S before - and it was also a bit difficult to use the camera and transmitter at the same time. Still the sub does what it is meant to do - submerge and surface. Still got to replace the scratch built front dive planes with the proper wants that arrived from Dave Manley at Small World Models this week - and a bit more ballast adjustment.

Sweet! I have adjust my cam thing to only just depress the schrader valve slightly at full throw, so she comes up very slowly with very litlle wasted gas. Just push the trim up if I want a rapid rise.

Thumbs up Smart

Hello all, Andrew this is looking very smart. The kids loved the video of it sinking and popping back up. Can't wait to see it happening in real life.

cheers

Jim
