I am an aircraft modeller but I like subs. We have from Revell 1/144 and 1/72 German and American boats and from the Japanese companies models of their boats. What British boats would you guys like to see and what scale

I wouldn't mind seeing a well done U class sub in 1/350 scale. I have the Mirage 1/400 version, but it leaves much to be desired...

Tim's suggestion is a good one: 49 boats of the U class served with the RN and were developed into the V class during WWII which were the first welded submarines built for the RN. 1/350 scale is preferable.

It would also be nice to see a T class in 1/350. 53 boats served with distinction with the RN well into the 1960's even though they were designed and built in the 1930's just before and during WWII.
