Default U-Boat colisions!

Filming a submarine model expo, one unlucky but beautiful U-Boot diving model got hit and run over by three other models. Heh heh!

I used to dabble in rc boats and subs and getting the right 'scale' speed was always the biggest challenge/nightmare.

I used to carry a small toolboxe full of various pitch propellors to every sailing event I attended.
