[PSUBS-MAILIST] historic replica subs
I just send a couple of pictures of good historic intressting
subs to the Moki file exchange server.
If I had to build one alone - my choise would be a Seehund but with the
diesel in a soundbox..
A Neger can be build quiet easy from a Torpedo - but this required good
contacts to your local Navy..
The Argonaut I is the only one required just wood for the hull.
Ray you can grab the pictures if you like.
regards Carsten

Completely new Messerschmitt 262s, the first operational jet fighter, have been replicated and are available to anyone with deep pockets. What I would'nt give for a Gato or a Seehund- regards, Mark
