    Looks good, forget the submersible, trust me, you will never get one to scale or even enough to scale to look right against the scale of the ship, I know I tried one for the Bismarck wreck. Even scratched built one ans it looked just so bad. But, what you could do is build a camera and light sled, like Argo, just make it out of wire for a frame and add some spare plastic bits that look like battery housings and camera and lights.

        Mm you might be right there Si it maybe too small to give it that little bit extra

        I wonder off I could get a 1:400 scale submarine and have it going past the wreck like it was on patrol or maneuvers

          This is the cheapest sort of sub that scale on Fleabay. The rest are uboats and the like, not really suitable. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EE40007-Eastern-Express-1-400-Submarine-project-877-Kilo-/190801407036?pt=UK_ToysGames_ModelKits_ModelKits_J N&hash=item2c6ca66c3c You could modify that by hacking bits off and adding some wire work and then a AAA battery powering some white LEDs.

            Cheers Si and not a bad price either even if it didn't look right or was a bad kit it would make a great broken up wreck with some of the interior showing
