Not subs, but cool!

[tmsmalley]

SC member and master modeler Gary Phillips scratch-built a model of a 1980's era Russian missile boat. While Not a submarine, it might give sub guys some ideas about launching rockets (not at the SubRegatta - sorry! ).

To see the video I made of Gary's boat over the July 4th weekend, go to -

TURN UP THE SOUND AND ENJOY THE MUSIC -

Locks great ,I bet its

Locks great ,I bet its even more impresive at nigt.

Wait till you see one fired underwater at night and then explodes about 10 feet away, very cool and realistic .I have the plans for the firring system and have made several prototypes but have not yet incorperated it into a sub latlly.

My older 14 year old Typhoon did fire 2 rockets from beneath and was a blast.Just be carefull that the exaust does not burn your paint job ,hence fired from underwater.

I might make the U-32 fire them or the Type XXI im currently building.

Kevin you should try the hydraulic systems I use ,those big doors would open and close with incredible realism right down to the sound!And very cheap to make.Ill send in an article about it soon.
Check out my posts on the system and what it can do for you.
