John, see #26 above. Another is http://titanic-model.com/dc/dcboard....5081&mode=full

Dr. Hahn is not involved in the project as I discovered earlier in the week but I did hear from Mr. Davies-Garner who said it is, indeed, underway with a planned release in 3 years. After seeing some of his models - he is the one who built the 1:48 Titanic at the Titanic: Ship of Dreams Exhibit in Orlando, FL - I would say this project is in capable hands. You can see his work at: http://www.cdscaledesigns.com/Pete/peter_contents.html

Here is an update on the Graupner Type 7. The first model to be released in December will not dive at all! It is just a surface boat. They are planning on a more advanced boat coming out after that which also will include a static/dynamic diving option. This was stated by the German Graupner rep at the model show in Nuernberg this year. Here is the link to the latest video:
