The english navy built 1 too with a hangar and a 14 inch gun i think but in an underwater colision whilst on manouvers the gun was ripped from its mounting and everone drowned.The designers had forgoten that there was a great big hole under the gun mounting and as it was ripped off it was like pulling a plug  Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

The RN version with a gun was M1,when she sank M2 was converted to carry aircraft...but she also sank. The French built quite a contreversial one,the Surcouf. Italy built Ettore Fieramosca The Japanese were the most prolific though,they built nearly 50 aircraft carrying subs,the I400 class carrying 3 planes & they could travel 1.5 times round the world!! Germany tried but gave up as did the Americans Rob Nolli Illigitimi Carborundum!!!Current Builds: HMS Victory, SV Thermopylae

Hi Andy! It looks very realistic and is a great job! I think it would be better that a scale or coins were located near your model so that they can understand this is a 1/700 scaled model! Best Regards, Yutaro DeAGOSTINI 1/250 the YAMATO, 1/250 the AKAGI.

Hello Andy,
Seeing the diminutive size of this model against the coin just makes it even more amazing that you have managed to fit all those rails and the radar, etc, so neatly!! Excellent stuff Andy, I do love watching your ship builds even though I am not into ships myself (though I am into plastic modelling) which just proves how good they are mate!!
Well done and keep up the good work.
Kev

Hi Kev Thanks for looking in and the kind words of encouragement and it makes it worth posting when people such as yourself enjoy my endevours.I have to say this is the smallest scale iv ever tackled with etch and at times its been a challenge with its size alone  with a bit of  along the way as doors dissapeared into the never to be found again box but there are enough spares provided with some over. The gangways/walkways certainly improve the look of the model as it brings it more to life in my eyes.Im currently still masking off and painting right now but she should be finished soon regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .
