 Amount of detailed parts is incredible, from her four inch gun, 40mm and 20mm AA guns to deck railings etc, assortment of decals is very good with 4 choices, decided to go with the USS Growler SS 215, although she was lost at sea, I hope thats not a bad omen cause I plan on play'n SHIV

Got one. It saved me having to scratch build one and I'm going to use David Merriman's upgrade RC kit and my own design WTC.
Take a look at the David Merriman cabal reports on his build as well as Brain's. We are all good friends and the link is to my forum I created last year. Enjoy the build folks. And it's not as hard as you might think to RC this boat to be a real sub. http://www.subpirates.com/viewforum.php?f=30 Steve |
