Hi all, I just bought said kit to try something new. Has anyone built this kit? I sure would appericate any feedback on this, first ship/ sub model. It appears I have to do the tower railings myself, stretched sprues I guess. the rest looks  straight foward. Thanks again for any info.  Aardvark

Hi Aardvark,

Yes, there a few of us who have built this kit. Take a look at my Sub GB to check the WIP of Plasticjunkie's build. Completed pics on page 18 of the thread.

I build one as the Puffer launch but I don't think it would be of much help in your build.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

PJ did that kit in the sub warfare GB. He has pics in the GB but might take a bit of searching through to find them.

But i am sure he will see this and help you out.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

       Model Crazy  , Thx for your reply. I tried searching ships and subs on fsm without luck, but went online and asked about building, and found PJ's build from 5/26/17 on fsm. Don't know why I couldn't find it on fsm. I did get alot of good info, especially on railings from White Ensign Models. Still hope I hear from PJ, I have a few other things to to pick his brain about. Thanks again Aardvark
