This past Sunday we had our first Indoor Y Run of 2025.
Happy New Year!

All 8 balls were in attendance. Subs present and running were:
Greg’s Type VII U Boat, Chris’s Deep Flight II Sub, my SkipJack
Class sub SSN-591 Shark, Patti’s Flying Sub.
Other Surface craft (targets) were also present and running well.

A good time had by all.

Here are some pics:

The type VII should look familiar to many that have been here a while. It was Big Daves revell 1/72 scale sub. I acquired it a couple of few years ago. It didn't have any internals anymore . Fortunately I found one of his cylinders online that someone else had built and was selling so the boat is back in BD condition. A little ballast work and rebuilding the damaged details and then I can move on to his Gato. I consider myself fortunate as I have 5 of his boats and 2 boats that he Built the internals for.

I agree. I feel fortunate to have some boats or cylinders from several that I consider greats. It is owning a piece of history that many will not understand (unless they have been in this hobby for awhile)
