Hi guys, I'm not a warship modeller, (I build things with wings) but after reading about the British submarine war in the Mediterranean I wondered if anyone knows if kits of the U,T,or S class subs are available anywhere? I've looked at the usual online retailers but the only WW2 subs available seem to be German Uboats.
Thanks in advance

You might something in eithr the old Skywave 1:700 kits or check out blue water Navy 350 scale. Can't say as I've ever seen a Brit sub kit, but then again I never looked. Why don't you go full bore and get one of those 35th scale Uboats for $1800

Thanks for the suggestion Blaster. If my bank manager knew people were suggesting I spend $1800 on a kit he would have a fit, I'm afraid my overdraft prevents me from even thinking about "exotic" kits Mind you if those lottery numbers come out right............
