The following text is from the article:

We have regular flying days on the Hinze Dam where we engage in combat with Pat Drake's huge Type VIIC model R/C Submarine. We drop depth charges and he fires rockets. I have hit his Submarine once with a depth charge, and he has destroyed my tailplane once. The left side photograph here is a picture of my depth charge hitting his type VIIC Submarine, and the right side photograph is the recent destruction of my port tailplane/elevator by one of Patrick's explosions. Notice that the tailplane is bent up at about 70 degrees! It immediately flipped back into place and the aircraft flew for quite some time and landed safely after this incident. I was unaware of the damage until I taxied in.





Here is Pat Drake's U-995, a Type VII C U-boat, being depth-charged by the Short Sunderland. The model is fibreglass, 2.6m in length, 1:25 scale. The original U-995 is one of the few U-boats still in existence and is on display in Kiel, Germany. The Type VII C was the main class of U-boat built by Germany during World War II.





This is Pat Drake's model of the giant French World War II submarine, Surcouf. One photo shows the 8" guns firing, while the other managed to capture the exact moment of missile launch towards the attacking Sunderland. The model is 3.1 metres long, 1:33 scale. It took one year to build. The original was the largest and most heavily armed submarine in the world at the start of WWII. It disappeared in February 1942 when approaching the Panama Canal and may have sunk due to a collision with an American freighter.

Status: offline 		Don't look at me. I wouldn't mess with explosives anywhere near my model. Ranks right up there with those people trying to use Estes rocket engines for the propulsion on their scale missiles. I suppose it might look cool to see your sub explode at the midsection and then catch fire and sink, but I wouldn't want to try it...

Status: offline 		I have heard of 1/144 scale subs used in model warship combat in the '90s. Armed with a CO2 cannon firing BBs, or 1/4" ball bearings depending on which warship combat organization you fought within. Used to be some pics up at the Big Guns site if you want to search around.

No one much fools around with them anymore; they're lightly armed, slow, hard to turn and easy to sink compared to the "floaters". One hole was enough to put her on the bottom, usually.

The fun part is WHEN the model blows up. Battle subs are the best.
