    "Priastine"???? I don't like auto correct very much but when it changes a correctly spelled word like "pristine" to priastine, I really have to wonder!

      Post war Japanese JSDF assets have always been well maintained and clean. The Japanese are clean-freaks (and the culture has produced the most raciest, toughest little SOB's on this planet) and a very by-the-numbers people.

        Agreed - on all counts. I'll dust it lightly.

            Very nice detail. You are rocking along with this sub. It will be fun to see the way it will handle in the water.
            If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

                      A very well running boat. Gas or LPB?

                        Gas. I can't seem to get the snorkel valve to seal properly so I've reverted to the tried and true.
