Model Boats Jan 1976 issue 300 Charlie class

[FindingNemo]

redboat219 asked me to post the vintage article from model Boats 1976, which first sparked my interest in building an RC submarine. PDF attached. Apologies for my childhood engineer's notes on the article.
The original magazine had a nice colour cover showing the model. Unfortunately it didn't survive my many re-readings of this edition.
Cheers, Colin.

Thank you for posting this. It's always good to look back at where the hobby came from . We are still trying to solve the same problems, just with more modern equipment!

Thanks for posting the article. There is a build log of an updated version using an o-ring sealing at the rear end of the hull on the Association of Model Submariners site;
