Imagine this...

[GoldenRivet]

... your driving down a rural stretch of road and you pass this thing up.

I would call my old man up and say "pops.... bring your truck and trailer!"

[StarLion45]

:o Maybe I am getting old ,and my eyes not are so good,
but what sub is it:hmm:

[Red Heat]

Great stuff...no words! :D

[bookworm_020]

I don't know how my wife would take it when a sub appeared in our backyard! It's almost up there with what happened a few years ago when the navy was keeping the last oberon subs operational.
They needed a replacement part for one of the last subs still in service, but they weren't been made anymore. They relized one sub that had been cut apart at the waterline and used as a memorial in the town of Holbrook in NSW still had the part required attacked to the sub! So in the middle of the night they came down to the town with a salvage team and took the part they needed!:yep:

I don't think the locals were impressed!

[magicsub2]

actually it cant be a vii because it is too small.

probably a iia, but looks nothing like it.

maybe someone did not know what to make and made it!

[kenijaru]

actually it cant be a vii because it is too small.
maybe it's not at 1:1 scale. because it does look like a type VII.

[richardphat]

It is a VII type but scale down...... a real one hmmm... lenght 100m+?
Nah this one is too smal.
But i would like it can be RC and then cruise it on the sea:arrgh!:

[GoldenRivet]

If you guys read the text. :rotfl:

you would know what it is.

It is a relic left over from the film U-571

I believe it fell off a trailer in transit, and the bow broke off. it was left on the side of the road and was to be picked up later, but somehow it was forgotten there for SIX years!

finders keepers:rock:

[Task Force]

Wow, I want one.:D would be one h*** of a RC sub.:yep:

[GoldenRivet]

Wow, I want one.:D would be one h*** of a RC sub.:yep:

too bad this one is so rusted up :nope:

it would be cool to have one though

[Task Force]

fix it up. as long as its not rusted too bad. (or sell for scrap money):D just imagine how much this thing will get you at a scrap yard when steel prices go up.)

Poetic justice when you consider what the film was like :lol:

Time to paint with anti-rusting chemical stuff!:hmm:

Well - I did some research and found the snowy U-Boot near Masserberg in Thuringia/Germany.
A nice lady told me it has been built for a carnival procession.

At least it shows the Laughing Sawfish.
