    This Sub Is Impossibly Perfect

    I mean, even the painting is perfect, I don’t see how anyone could do it. No splotches, no paint runs. The electronics, WTC, etc. Man, you could eat off the inside of it. https://youtu.be/xt8A1YTqeik?feature=shared

    Not bad! Impressive. But Perfect? I think Bob Martins Nautilus looks and perhaps also runs far better. The one in the video looks like old technology model submarine wise. but hey, it runs great and safely that all that matters. The owner is happy and justifiably proud, and is the belle of the ball at regattas I'm sure. But can he do a James Mason accent though? LOL.

    Doing my Peter Lorre forlorn "helpppppppp"...lol

      Well, perfect may be too strong of a word. It’s clean. I don’t see any slop on it anywhere. It just looks like a new car on the inside.

        It's an OTW Upholder kit, with an OTW module. Clean building work, I expect the builder- Matt Copeland chucked a bit of paint to smarten it up the standard inner finish of chopped matt and polyester resin. Everything looks pretty new- the brass parts tend to tarnish with time and use unless the builder keeps polishing them.
