At $18, or so, and only 13 inches long, if my math is right, this is really pretty doable. I may have to give this serious consideration. For those who are interested, from what I can find out on www.combinedfleet.com the differences between the two are the "Sydney" boats, actually Type A Kai 1 (improved version 1), is that they had, "the fitting of an improved gyro compass, serrated net-cutters on the bow and conning tower, a sled-like bow guard for maneuvering over obstacles and a propeller guard to prevent entanglement in nets or cables."

Kenny, How dare you call my wife a sub, for it is for her that I spend my weekend in the smallest room in the house, nearly completed now so back to modelling soon. PeteV
