Wanted Robbe U31 Submarine - FOUND

[Rich]

Hi All, I'm looking for a Robbe U31 Submarine finished, part built, or NIB, to complete my collection of Robbe Subs. Any and all considered, even a lead to one lurking would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Richard.

Hi All,

I thought that you might like an update, I found one! - and a good story. There is a hobby shop about 700km north of where I live, in a town that has been very hard hit by the end of the mining boom. I used to frequent this shop when I lived nearby (by country Australian standards anyway), and I bought my first sub model from them about 7 years ago. Work sent me through this town, and I couldn't resist stopping for a look - guess what, behind the counter is a 1/2 built U31. The proprietor had given up hope of ever selling it and decided to build it himself - yes I paid the sticker price, and happily!!!!!!

Now all I have to do is finish building it...........................

Congratulations, Rich. Neat story. Let's see some images of the build.
