I like the look of this boat. It has to be a great subject for a model. But what is it? (I don't know!)
HMS Scotsman

Could it be a British S boat post war? Compare it to one during the war. With a streamlined casing and sail I would say that its a strong possibility.IT TAKES GREAT INTELLIGENCE TO FAKE SUCH STUPIDITY! -
That is HMS Scotsman, a converted s-class.
Many boats were streamlined after WWII, with a program similar to the U.S Guppy, having benefited from the advanced streamlining technology of captured German u-boats.Comment

And to show the Guppy class, here is USS Croaker, a museum piece moored in Buffalo NY. I visited it a few weeks ago and was given a personal tour over the entire boat. It was very sparse compared to the Clamagore in Charleston and the Drum in Mobile Al. They'd virtually gutted the boat, making bunk spaces larger and many 'work' areas less cluttered. Altogether a much more comfortable vessel perhaps?

I'm pretty sure the photographed boat is Scotsman. Look here for a similar photo: http://home.cogeco.ca/%7Egchalcraft/sm/page10.html The entry on Scotsman is on the bottom of the page.Last edited by Outrider; 12-24-2010, 04:03 PM.Comment
