You can actually get kits of U-Boat pens in a small scale that you could use to scale up to 1/72nd.

I've seen plenty of U-Boats in a dry dock setting but never in a pen. Possibly leave the top off so you could see everything?

Nigel,

Thanks for blaming me, share and share alike I say!!! Just mention that you are going to move the washing machine and wait for the dust to settle!!

Richard, Glad you found a flag. When you get it follow the instructions as regards glue along the edge ( I used cyano) and fitting it to a thread then roll it between your fingers along a diagonal line from the top corner. I rolled mine and screwed it up a few times before I was happy with the way it 'hung'. Eventually I really liked the effect.

Well the Grey Wolf has been out on her first patrol and I have to admit she behaved very well.

The speed was above scale without getting silly, the turning circle was far better than I expected and she floated bang on at the correct draught.

She also proved to be quite stable and battery life was still doing well at 45 minutes when rain stopped play.

You mean the test tank?

Yup, if it isn't going to float at the right draught and trim and it is going to leak somewhere I would rather find out about it in the secure environment of the test tank!!!

The Test Tank is in the bathroom and I sometimes have to get Annette out of it first as she seems to think it is for washing purposes!!
