    What Subs have you built? - What subs do you currently own?

    I thought it might be fun to see what everyone has built at one time, or has in their current fleet.
    1. first sub I built was a 1/48 fleet boat. (sold after 6 years)
    2. Second was a 1/32nd type IX. (still own)
    3. Scratch built 1/24th type XXIII (sold it after 3 years)
    4. Bought a 1/48 Skipjack, never built it. (sold)
    5. Built a 1/24th type IIC u-boat (never finished) in drydock.
    6. Built 3 different 1/32nd type IIC hulls, sold the first 2 and have the 3rd running in my fleet.
    7. Picked up a 32nd P. type XXIII from a fellow S/C member and am currently finishing it. (re-finishing and updating it)
    How about you??

            hi Sam,
            I also had

            hi Sam,
            I also had a 32nd P. type VII, I forgot about that one. I filed out a bunch of holes, worked on the conning tower,, and that deck, Wow, what a job. Then sold it after all the control surface's and props were installed.... E-gads, what a job that was.. Sam, your right, I tore out all the original guts in my 32nd P. XXIII hull, I did crack a small area on the side of the hull, don't know what kind of glue was used, but it held... . You guys with the Web pages, thanks for the links, really cool to check out your projects! thanks Jeff Jones

              Here's what's im my dockyard

              A 1 metre long SSN L.A (USS Key West)
              A slightly longer SSBN Ohio (USS Alaska)
              A 1 metre long Chinese Type 092 "Xia" Class SSBN. China's only.

              They all use the same modular WTC with a pump set up just like a Sheerline boat. A very popular confguration in Australia.

                      Not much as yet, still

                      Not much as yet, still on base of the learning curve
                      1) Graupner Shark. Got me hooked originally.
                      2) Sheerline 1/96 Akula. Not really scale but fantastic fun and reliable.
                      3) Sheeline 1/96 Ohio. Looks Great.

                      All in running order at the moment!
                      Nothing else in progress at the moment.
