FNS Daphne S641 1/400scale Heller kit no.1073,
Built 23Mar1981 OOB as FNS S641 Daphne with the "early" bow option and added aerial wires from stretched sprue . Approx 12 years ago (2000) I weathered the model based on pics I have of other sub classes. This was a class of 11 diesel patrol submarines used by the French Navy from 1958 to 1989 (?), exported to several countries also, two French Daphne's were lost.

Lovely weathering job!

David

Very nice. I like the weathering, especially the 'waterline' mark. Looking through some magazines at Dads house, submarines can get very weathered and dirty looking. Good job.

Nigel
