Type "S" or "T" Class subs from Loyal Hanna Dockyard

[pier 72]

Has anyone purchased a "S" or "T" Class sub kit from Loyal Hanna Dockyard in NY?
I'm really interested in their "T" Class but they don't seem to know exactly what is included in the package. I only want to know if it has a section that will become the WTC and if it has a lid for that WTC????

He is a good guy and a great supporter of the SubCommittee!

Hi, I am pretty sure those boats are Metcalf Mouldings (ex Darnell) kits http://business.virgin.net/metcalf.moul ... alogue.htm

They come with a box shaped water tight container (seaparte from the rest of the hull, needs to be bonded in) that is closed with a rectangular acrylic lid, held down with a number of bolts and sealed with a oring or other type of waterproof seal. You could just fit a traditional WTC instead though. There have been some reports that the moulds for these boats are past their best and there may be alot filling, sanding, scribing to get things right

Seriously, you guys have been the biggest help to me lately.
I can't thank you all enough.
I've tracked down the sub I'm after and have now started enquiring as to shipping and cost to Australia.
Stay tuned for building progress.............
