    Thanks to the USN, I got to see the real movie one in Palau, Sardinia during the winter of '75-'76. Sadly, I never got to see Caroline Munro. :(

        From your mouth to God's ears.

        I have seen so many projects on here which start with great fanfare, detailed photographs and lots of enthusiasm and 5 pages later the band stopped playing the music. There must be a ton of half done submarine kits out there. In fact some can be found in my own closet.

                  Something I should give better consideration to with a number of future projects.

                    Wow, never saw that before.

                    Makes me wonder whether that's more effective than the 4 planes on the Lotus?

                              Regarding the photos and video. I'm not implying you should make yours as they made theirs. Just showing HOW they built theirs.

                                Pretty darn cool! Finally somebody finished the Lotus model, awesome. Love the music and special FX.
