I have recently commissioned the WWII British T Class model and as you can see, we are well under way with the plug.



My idea has been to make this model so we can change the superstructure, the conning tower and the deck equipment around to suit a variety of models including The Slippery Ts.

With this in mind, I need your help. Does anyone have any preference on a particular boat they'd like to see? Or better still,could they list the boats that have the same conning towers.

Maybe there are a few brave ones who would like to make a master for a particular conning tower or piece of equipment?

Let me know if you have an interest in this please. My main thread on the subject can be seen at http://forum.sub-driver.com/showthread.php?1522-The-British-T-Class-1-72-scale

Cheers

Yes, I am interested. I'd like to see the price range when it's ready.

And, just like their WW II tanks, carrier aircraft, and bombers, Britain's submarines had this lovely klunkiness to their lines....

As much as this would be amazing, could it be scaled down? My gut feeling is that there are more 1/144 1/350 subs being built, but 72 is more easily RC'd
