The only "problem" with it is that there were three different yards producing them, so each yard had details specific to themselves. The, each boat was modified both on the ways and every time it made port, so no two boats were similiar.



That being said, I think I am going to find the DVD for "The Pink Submarine", paint mine pink down to the water line with some waathering from the waterline down, no weathering for the pink paint, and call it:



"Oh Ramone!"

Thanks for the name correction. I'll still need the DVD, so I can get a good look at where the water line is (I suspect the boat is in a light ship condition, so it is likely higher than normal). Also, I need to see if the prop guards are in place - these were nearly always removed on operational boats, both for speed and noise reasons, but the post-war boat may well have them in place. : : it's 60's sap and corn, but it is funny when you see the : sub. weren't some of the primers that color? : They did not have enough red primer nor enough white lead primer, so they mixed the two primers together.
