I'm trying to remember... did they surface, put the crew aboard and the roll it off the back of the deck, or put the crew aboard and then submerge under it after releasing the attachment shackles? Interesting photo here:

Photographic coverage of Japanese submarines during the war was skimpy at best.

at midnight? (apologies to gary numan)

It may be to let the clueless amongst us know that they will have to build it themselves. Heh, for awhile there I could have advertised myself as the 'home of
1500 unassembled model kits'. ;)Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr.
IIRC, Lindberg's XFY is 1/46 scale

Believe me, when you see the thickness of that canopy and the pilot hanging in midair in a non-existent cockpit, you will know that is the least of your problems (although the canopy is actually quite transparent for its thickness). On the upside, it does have pretty petite raised rivet detail and they figured out a way to get the props to counter-rotate via gears. The rivets on the Aurora Pogo could have held a battleship together.

cool cardboard. we painted our black and put skull and xbones on it. and a no gurls allowed sign.
this:
wow , so many thanx for that pic. I remember as a kid trying to figure out what the sub was made of, and how I could talk my parents into getting me one. never did get one. who did? what was it like?

found some pics and a story
I had this one, and thoroughly enjoyed it:

never saw that one live. did want one but... i know collectors have everything, so at least they still exist. wonder if there's a warehouse in joisey full? you've heard the hula hoop myth? supposedly some guy tryed to cash in on the hoop craze and ended up with a warehouse contianing several 100 thousand. if it was true, i suspect that old plastic would turn to dust if touched.
Want to see a _really_ cool toy sub?:
i want the bathtub that fits in...and the house......and the money.
OHHH...OHHH - a 1/72 Serian!!!
I think j-aircraft.com also has a few Naval refs.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Airplanes are hard enough...I'd think subs would be invisible.
nothing in my pile. couldn't even find my glow-in-the-dark t rex.
