A 52 inch model--where's THAT going to go? I don't recall any great demand for something this size. I'd much rather get three or four
You can put it next to Erik's 1/72 C-5 and it wont look so bad ;-)

Not that I'm much into ships, but I like subs as well as aircraft. My scale is 1/72, so I think there IS demand for these. I remember the
1/72 USS Enterprise I saw about 20 years ago. If it hadn't been $1500, I'd probably have one of them. It may be long, but it's fairly skinny, too. I've got 3 1/72 subs built from Combat kits & a couple of others in the stash.its going for unde $90 at Squadron. Just gotta get it for its size alone. since when did this hobby make sense anyway...... :)

Possibly to go with the already released U-Boat in the same scale?
Seems like good marketing to me.

With a blue background and some 'wavy' glass above , you could suspend them from the ceiling as part of an Action Battle Diorama .
heh heh , would have to leave the 'significant other' before you started though .
Martin
She'd probaby do the leaving. ;)

Is there a release date yet?
A.
now we need a Japanese sub in 1/72, the one that launched airplanes!!!
Craig
was that the 1-400's? hmm, where to put a 10' model?
The I-400s weren't that big , were they?
biggest subs until that russian bastard, i believe.
The I-400s were 400 feet long. As a comparison, a Gato class was 312 feet long, and a Type VII U-boat was about 220 feet long.

that's all? i saw side by sides and they looked a lot longer...must be an optical illusion.
Umm, in 1/72 scale then that comes up about half of 10', only a little over 5 1/2 '.
