Would anyone want a British K Class submarine hull in 1/72?

Alright, already. I never said they were perfect, just that I love them despite all their problems. But just wait!!! When I eventually build one (and this of course means if I have the skill to build one the way I WANT to build one), you will all gape at the sheer size of the hull (56.6 " long - no mummified Johnson there!!!) , you will gasp with envy at the bow torpedo tubes AND the broadside torpedo tubes AND the trainable twin tubes in the superstructure; you will goggle at the folding funnels, you will be transfixed by the telescoping radio masts, and (finally) you will tremble at the sight of the three-gun broadside. Oh yes, periscopes and folding dive planes are nothing compared to the potential operating systems on a K Boat. Trust me, you will ALL want one then. Kazzer will be doing a roaring trade in supplying K Boat hulls.
Let us put this thread to bed as clearly no-one will convince me that a K Boat is anything but the ultimate model submarine........ :)

Actually Kim, I agree, despite my school yard antics, it will be pretty dam superb. I can't wait for you to take the plunge Kim into subs.

I just havent had time to wipe my ass recently, let alone peruse the Subdriver website. Finally opened it up and waded through the recent history, then K class, ho hum stick with the darnell hull usual usual, then post #23 OMFG.

The M class is coming down off the shelf tonight, i gotta figure out how much more work to finish that one before this beast is a reality. motivation level at red alert

Hi Kazzer,


Anyway, enough of lesser boats. Your new K Boat, is that GRP or vac form plastic? What needs to be done to get it ready for actually building a submarine? BTW, I am in no way wanting to rush you - I am happy to wait, I still have my battlecruiser to build so am unlikely to be looking at a K Boat until next year.

At the moment, I have no idea. I am still waiting for the hull to arrive. Should be a week or four before I get it.
