That's a really nice build. I read Run Silent, Run Deep when I was very young and the images of the submarine has always stuck with me.

I wouldn“t call her ugly, more like charming in a chuncky fasion

Nice and clean build, and nice to see something not german - I second the wish to see a MOD on this fine build.

Cheers/Jan

Hey Jim!

Nice work, BTW, if you like the lines of an Sugar Boat, then you should LOVE the ones on a British sub!
