Default Scratch built 1/96 type 212

Thought you guys might like to see this. Long story but I made the hull masters and molds. The final product is epoxy glass. David Merriman made the prop, deck fittings, scopes, masts and arrays.

She is a static diver. She does not need speed to dive but rather can dive in place like a real boat. Complete with fail safe should I lose signal, she will blow ballast and surface.









The picture above shows the WTC of the boat in the early stages of construction.

And here's a short video of the maiden pool trials.



Enjoy bubble heads!
