Hi Somboon!

Having these buggers in the stash, and from what I know from these early DML 1/700 submarines, you have tackled the difficulties very well! The hull halves are perfect (the main flaws of these models) and you also managed to get a very convincing paint scheme for the Typhoon - one of the best I have seen!
The Dallas is a more common sight on sub builds, but it's also good (although I would like to hear Tom Hathaway, giving his specialized and knowledgeable input on this particular subject)

Congratulations and keep up

Thanks for sharing Mark!

very nicely done! i like them together, you get WOW "size" difference effect... I have the Typhoon in 350 which I know has a lot of accuracy issues... could you share your paint scheme? Looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing, cheers
