  i like how they have a system when the boat sinks you can easyily recover them.
  
  looks like fun but im guessing you’ll send like 100 hours rebuilding the boat after a 5-10 minute battle.
  
  still wouldnt mind owning one!

  Well, I’m drawing up plans for a 1/32 scale (these guys boats are 1/72) German WWII Eboot. I start once I get my current boat 90% finished (the VACII) and the Chinese Junk still needs final detailing.
  
  Anyway, it’s getting real working torpedos.
  
  Once the Eboot is 90% done, I’m going to build a submarine, again in 1/32 with working torpedos (maybe vertical launching ICBM’s), haven’t decided on the prototype for that one yet.
  
  TallduDe, I’ve seen some of these boats up close, the work manship on them is quite poor, they just do a rough bog job and she’s ready for battle again. They still look great from a few metres at sea, which is what counts.

  you might find the NSW fun police make you get a gun licence for them.
  I haven’t seen them in sydney, but I remember talking to somebody who was involved with them.
  They are appearently easy to repair as they are just balsawood panels that they replace and glue back on. The rules are quite detailed.
