Too funny I use to date a Admiral's daughter in Pearl long time ago. Don Speilberger of Loyalhanna Dockyard has those molds and the 1/72 Alfa and 1/96 Delta II molds. His email is don963@aol.com. He has a Charlie kit for sale right now on RC Groups.

Hate to be a PAIN in the ..........backside but I cant find it. Not in the boat section and not under submarines. As far as Loyalhanna is concerned I cant ever get thru to the guy...................but Ill try.........again.

Hardrock here is a pic of my 1/72 Charlie I with a 1/96 Victor III on it.

Hard rock I am getting old and my hearing has been impaired by all the Led Zepplin I listened to but I think I heard you say 1/72?

And a LARGE packing crate to put it into!

I'm calling shenanigans Tim. Charlie I is 95 metres and Victor III is 102 meters. Unless that Victor has been on the set of "Honey I shrank the Kids" it can't be 1/96 scale.

Shenanigans? Don Lemon on CNN told me the Victor III model on the Charlie was 1/96. The Clinton News Network wouldn't lie would they? What is a meter? I have a gas meter out back the house is that the same? You Aussie's need to put the Foster tube down mate.

Don Lemon is a ******. Ok mate since I made the Delta III in 1/96 I will do you and Georgie Porgie the canuck a solid. If I decide to scratch out a Victor III I will do a 1/72 and 1/96 so you two won't sick your PM's on me.

Any of you guys into Russian Modern Warships aka; skimmers? Got 4 or 5 pages of super detailed plans I got from Don for a Krivak Frigate. 1/100 scale. Gag barf. Got enough foam to make a hull plug and a mold. Just the ticket for your skimmer buddies to try to hunt down your 1/96 boat. What sayest thou?

Thanks very much. Im trying to make heads or tails of it. "The Black Hole" says that the hull is 61.5" long with a 5" beam. "Totenkopf", which I suspect is you, says that it is 52" long with a 5&1/2" beam. Which is correct? Thanks

I don't know where Don came up with his figures but the Charlie is 52" long with a 5 1/2" beam. The Black Hole is Don from Bergen, NY. He must have it slightly confused with the 1/96 Delta III which is 64" long.

Tim, we do a sub run at Yorba Linda park every other month, the next one is March 25th (or whatever that Saturday is). You should join us!

[598602G]

Trout I will see if I can make it. Yorba Linda isn't too far from me. I have to take care of my 91 year old mom so sometimes tough to get away. I decided I will do the Victor III in 1/96 first after I finish the Golf. Decided I will shape the hull and sail plugs out of solid balsa block sections to make it easier.

Hurray!!!!
