    I had that same model when I was a kid. It had alot of patrols in my swimming pool! Great model, but I think you forgot your forward dive planes!

    I tried getting one at the war museum and **** it was expensive, $44 Canadian and it would of been $20-30 at a Toys R Us but sadly I couldn't get it. Well nice model. Could you show us the finished model ? I remember having a Titanic model I used to sink in my bath tub

    No it had a hole in the bow so I just hold it upright or it wouldn't tilt but sink. Now I lost that model somewhere.

    Nice. I got so addicted to SH3 again that I made a video about it and added the footage of them bouncing torps.

    ok well now that i put it under a microscope i notice it really looks like ****. i didnt have a rust color so i had to make one which turned out alright but my attempt at drybrushing (first try) turned out horrible as u can see. i hope it meets standards, since this was my first try at putting effort into a model (also first time using my airbrush which i found is rather easy for painting big areas. any way enough talk heres a bad picture
