    Jake's 1/72 SSN-589 Scorpion

    I love driving my 1/96 Shark, but driving Merriman's 1/72 Skipjack is that much more, especially in larger body of water, so I had to get one. Picked up a partially completed hull. This week I've had my hands on four different subs. The working the damage to the Shark is completed, and it's ready for the next event. The Type IXC U-boat is going to get another flat coat, but all the details are completed except the cabling. So picked up a 1/96 Type XXI that I've started grinding/ filing the ports in, but that's a longer, side project. The main focus will be on the Scorpion. Brought it over to Dave's today and he made up some correct screws for it. When trying to fit it, the tailcone needed re-work, and the shaft hardware updated, so here are some photos of that. We looked over what direction to take it.

    Can’t wait to see it properly built. Good start.
    Of the approximately 40,000 men who served on U-boats in WWII, it is estimated that around 28,000 to 30,000 lost their lives.
