Cruiser Subs, nothing compared to the Surcouf, 2 × 8in guns

Interesting history with that Submarine !

There is a great book called X1, The Royal Navy's Mystery Submarine. It Covers X1, M1-3, Surcouf and a few others. It a good read.

Looking good Alexander.

Update:
Had a one or two casualties due to masking. Green-Grey needs a little cleanup

Fair potential for rust then!

 

[slupanter]

Getting there, not 100% happy but its moving .
I had a little plate made by nameitplates for the stand.

Alexander. Neat work and a great stand too. :thumb2:

These 1/350 subs are sometimes a pain to build, but pack loads of detail and make great little models.

Thanks, I am really enjoying these Mirco Mir kits at the moment

 

[slupanter]

Nearly there, deck painting and then varnishing

 

[slupanter]

Decals and washes next, I have had to make a set of small clamps for the top of the stand as the kit did not have anything to sup[ort it on the base.

Alexander,
looked at the 'K' class subs yet?

@Dave Ward
I have, I want to build a British X1 and you need to butcher a British K class to create one.
I would like a 1:72 Surcouf

Are you a fan of Cruiser subs too?

Ships in general, but waterlining subs has taken my fancy recently..................

MikroMir Holland A1 in 1/144. I've done a U Type IIB in 1/144 as well
I have the 1/350 Surcouf in the stash, and I may waterline that, with the crane lifting a seaplane........
Are there any models of the USS Argonaut?, the early one with two 6 inch guns...........
Dave

 

[slupanter]

Nice, that feels very nautilus. The 1/350 Surcouf is a nicer kit than the M1 but I am a sucker for MikroMir. I haven't seen the USS Argonaut.
Have you read X.1: The Royal Navy's Mystery Submarine?

 

[slupanter]

Decals are done, washes next. I think my depth markers are a little low but oh well. Happy so far.

 

[papa 695]

Looking very good
