          There is a great book called X1, The Royal Navy's Mystery Submarine. It Covers X1, M1-3, Surcouf and a few others. It a good read.

                Fair potential for rust then!

                    Alexander. Neat work and a great stand too. :thumb2:

                    These 1/350 subs are sometimes a pain to build, but pack loads of detail and make great little models.

                      Thanks, I am really enjoying these Mirco Mir kits at the moment

                          Decals and washes next, I have had to make a set of small clamps for the top of the stand as the kit did not have anything to sup[ort it on the base.

                            Alexander,
                            looked at the 'K' class subs yet?

                              I have, I want to build a British X1 and you need to butcher a British K class to create one.
                              I would like a 1:72 Surcouf

                              Are you a fan of Cruiser subs too?
