Default Building a Type IX sub

Hope to be starting on a German type IXc this summer. The scale is planed out at 1/25th which should make it about 120.75 inches long. Plans were made by me using the VOM original type IX book I bought from Germany. With luck mold construction should begin in a few months.

Hello to you all.

What do you think about this one!


Its an Engel hull wit an Dream Arts conning tower. I build it my self and its runs great.
The inner side is designed by my self. I used an pump and close dive tank.

And this is how she runs under water!


Greeting from Holland,

Douglas.

Hey piper_chuck,

Stop editting my posts. I'm sick to death of it and if you don't remove my account I will be back to create trouble. You and Jim bourke should get togehter with the rest of PC police America.
All I did was post a link to my site www.subpirates.com so I could help people. Our site like SC is an expert's site. You see I help people get in to the hobby. We are not compition for you. As you sure arn't compition for us. In your dreams maybe.

We encourage the free flow of your ideas. Ya right.

U812
