Hello Guys,

I am in the mood to do something small, i.e. midget submarine to display next to my bismark dio, perferably in 1/35 scale. Does anyone has any information on Midgets?

thanks for your help in advance.

does this help any?


Does this submerged in water, then release a torpedo in enemy harbour, or crewed by 2 frogmen? Then NO!

Dave,
Don't know if it's available where you are, but the magazine 'Military In Scale' here in the Uk had an article on midget subs back in May 2002.
Apparently, There was a famous one called Neger, models in 1/35th from Verlinden (resin) and Azimut - an injection moulded one from Ironside.
If you Pm your e-mail I could scan the article in and e-mail it you if it would help?

Vinnie
