Ron was an inspiring modeller. His ideas, his building, his photography and his sense of humour were second to none. He built whatever took his fancy from Zulus and rusty railway engines to aeroplanes flying under bridges! He will be greatly missed by all his family and friends.

In the film "The Hunt for Red October" there is a memorable scene where the USS Dallas, an American nuclear submarine, makes an 'emergency blow, a full rise'.

This still is from THIS YouTube video

I reckon a model of that would have been right up Ron's street.

I am using this Revell kit. It only cost me less than a tenner delivered so again very Ron appropriate.

Only 21 parts and quite a few of them won't be used.

I made a start gluing the hull top and bottom together.

God alone knows how I'm going to tackle the water but we'll give it a go. Ron can look down and smile.
