You'll have to put a

You'll have to put a rack on that cruiser. Strap it to the top. I know a sub builder in the UK named Chris Clark that does that. Be prepared to get stared at though. LOL

That's a nice big boat you have there, Congrats and keep us posted on the build.

Steve,

Those props look great. Good job.

Very nice. If I'd have

Very nice. If I'd have had the chance to buy this hull before I'd nabbed my 1/96 Typhoon hull, I'd probably have gone that way instead.

As it is, the 96th hull is a big beast. Good luck with your 72nd! Post more pics as your progress!

Does "Wolfsong" or anyone have contact info for "Alan Pew Models" whom I assume builds this monster hull?

Looks like a fun project!

Wow - a great price.

Wow - a great price. That's about $500 US. A good price for a huge hull.

What was the shipping for something that big?

[wolfsong]

That does tend to increase the "out of pocket" doesn't it?

I agree with Bob. Nice

I agree with Bob. Nice boat. My Typhoon is also 1/96. My Alfa and Akula are both 1/72.Would have matched well.
You mentioned "kits", what else does he make?

G'day all,


It's quite a nice kit that allan does of the Typhoon. I have visited him at Gwandalan , it's about 20 minutes north from me , (about 1 hour 20 north of sydney NSW Australia.)

He mainly builds surface boats as he is a professional model maker.

He is heavily involved with Task force 72. That's possily the best way to contact him. His Garage is simply a shipyard. He had heaps of ships including a humongous model of the HMS Hood.
