Artama did nice work there, MM. I would really be pleased with myself if I built the Kongo that well.

Beautiful. What length is the IJN midget sub?

Marcus - thanks for your kind comments. “Artama” the builder of this ships formerly built 1:700 ones for himself. He got 1st prize for ship (IJN I-400 1:350) in the latest model contest in Thailand. The trophy is his but the sub is mine. :wink:

GMorrison - thanks also for your kind comments on Artama’s work. Me too, only if I could.

Felix - The sub is in the showroom, but I can tell its length by calculating from the real thing which is 23.9m long that a 1:72 model would be 33.19cm or 13" long. Thanks for joining.
