Most EXCELLENT subject.I built the Buckley twice, Revell and Trumpeter. I saw the movie in the very early '60s, The Enemy Below. Excellent movie. Will be watching. heres a couple pics-first is Revell second is Trumpeter.

Completely missed this Richard, sorry about that. Up to your usual planning and execution I see .

As to films, Das Boot and Cruel Sea are the gold standards for sub warfare to me. The stress (and boredom on Compass Rose) are palpable.
Not seen the Enigma one, and won’t. I thought it was insulting if I’m honest. Remember this film. It isn’t bad for its time.
Above us the waves is pretty good as well.
Not seen Greyhound, but it seems a bit like a reskinning of Cruel Sea so will only watch it if there’s nothing else on.
Honerable mention to In which we serve. More rounded, but a fine film, if only for Kathleen Harrison’s accent
