I have the same model got on my birthday last year.
The box lays on the attic waiting for wintertime.
The model is really huge.

Nearly 20 years back I was a member of The British Model SAubmariners Society and the proud owner of a 6'+ British WWII S Class sub.
One day I will come across some old photos :damn:

I think I'll make it my 2008 New Year's resolution to actually finish the 1/72 VIIC R/C kit that I started ordering the parts for in June 2006.

One nice thing at least... I see the parts and radio I have are still among the latest and greatest. At least my stuff isn't obsolete yet.

Once you finish that one, you can go hunt down their 1/72 Flower class Corvette.
What I'd really like to find is a River Class. I'd like to do it up like HMCS Saint John, the boat my grandfather commanded when he sunk U-247, the U-boat I'm building now.
Here's a link to a VIIC that I really like:

Unfortunately I don't know if one was ever done. Certainly not in that large a scale.

Well, there is a smaller one:

Dont say that becuase i know that buliding models is a hobby some people enjoy like you. comon somebody who has no life is somebody that plays on the computer all day or is a gaint couch potatoe.

Mein Gott it's beautiful!

Think you may well have started a bit of a craze off here, have already been checking for supplies of Revell submarine kits, 1/125 U99 would appear to be about it, but seriously contemplating though was pretty dire at modelling in my youth, ah well, will have improved with maturity like a good wine :roll: or perhaps like a good cheese, will stink even worse ;)
