    Chinese Sub Build

    Don’t expect too much at one time. This is my first one. Trumpeter included what looks like missile tubes in the bottom hull. I don’t know what they’re for, but I’m gonna have to cut them out for the WTC. Also there’s a lot of flash to cut away on the hull halves. Click image for larger version

    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.

        Anything that will fit the cylinder... I don't obsese over motor type, code, voltage, or family history. If it works, fine, if not, I cram a replacement in and see how that works.
