Submarines shouldn't take long to build but this one has been hanging around the slipway for over two years :roll: finally finished off today:

Excellent. Looks big and menacing - the way those things are supposed to look.

Can you build others of her class from the kit?

You can indeed David, the kit provides markings for all 7 T-class boats as well as the alternative pump jet propulsor that is fitted to the other 6 boats after Trafalgar.

I'd love to see Airfix produce a Swiftsure class and a Resolution class to fill out some gaps in 1/350th RN subs.

Nice one Tom. I like the look of modern boats, a sort of sinister beauty. Great work 8-)

Nicely done. Mine dragged her fins for a while and got very dusty waiting for me to finish off the etch round the opening bit they can get out onto on the upper bit (technical 'aint I)

Thanks for the compliments guys :grin: hopefully this will see some more movement on the bench now I've broken my duck for the year.
