thinning my fleet - Type VII and Type XXI for sale

[goshawk823]

I'm going to concentrate efforts on getting my 2 Type XXIIIs done (Bronco and OTW), so I'm gauging interest on the sale of two other boats that I have.

One is a 1/48 scale Type XXI hull from Matt Thor, with conning tower and other kit bits from Doug Badgely's original. This kit is not started. Asking $200 for this kit; shipping to be determined.

The other is OTW/Bob Dimmack's Type VII kit. Conning tower has long been completed, the rest of the hull is partially done. I have tons of the bits and pieces that come with the kit including the running gear, extra guns, fittings, etc. The conning tower is the fiberglass one; the metal version is unbuilt. Asking $800 for this kit, with shipping to be determined.

I don't have current pics, but I can take some and post if requested. Models are located in Richmond VA area, and I have no bloody idea what it would cost to ship the Type VII. I can check with a carrier on a box for the XXI.

If someone is interested that is somewhat local, we can talk about meeting to do the sale.

PM me for questions, or leave a note in the thread...

... you got a full plate!

I also have a full basement, with more to come it seems.

Seriously, I thought our readers would like to actually see what is on offer. These both sound like great boats.

pics added. sorry for the delay.

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Thanks David.
I'll be turning some of the sale of these kits into the compenents I need to complete the Type XXIII.

Where are the photos? I'm seeing nothing.

Dan

Never mind - now there are photos - don't understand why I could not see them before.

Duh! (your type-23 SD goes off to Caswell tomorrow, pal).

I assume the "duh" remark was aimed at me. So, is the SAS SD intended for 1/96 models identical to the type-23 SAS SD? To be clear on this, I'm after the 1/96 SAS SD with these specs (from the Caswell sales page)

• 2.5" diameter, 20.25" long, 1/16" wall thick, machined Lexan SD cylinder
• Ballast water weight -- 14 ounces, enough to raise any of the above mentioned model submarine hulls to their designed waterline
• LPB-MPC, ballast sub-system servo, safety float-valve, and all SAS plumbing made up and tested
• Snorkel head-valve assembly ready for installation within the upper hull or sail
• One 12-volt brushed 380 size motor, sparked suppressed, made up to a 3:1 drive-train
• Sub-driver ballast tank after bulkhead has foundation and the Lexan cylinder is machined to receive gas ballast-sub system retro-fit kit elements.
• Without any degradation of the SAS ballast sub-system, a gas type ballast sub-system can be retro-fitted to the system should you desire it as a back-up to insure recovery of the model when operating in deep water.

So, that's the one I'll be receiving - right? I specifically do NOT want the shortened SAS SD I hear about (only holds a smaller battery) - the one intended for later torpedo use.

You're getting the SD listed in the catalog. Yup, all the above features. Not the 'short' one for the torpedo shooting Type-23. Goes out today.

The Type XXI is sold.
THe Type VII is still available. I have a deal pending for the finished tower, so the TYpe VII will include an unbuilt tower with all the detail bits.

[goshawk823]
