That does look the business, no doubt about it! 

How large is the whole diorama?

Thank you Kit, the diorama base is 16 inches wide by 10 inches deep.  The sub measures 10.5 inches.  Pretty small.

Jeepers, you need to re-calibrate your brain when you know just how small it all is!

Just perfect Whifforama!!!

Nicely done!

That looks cracking.

Thank you all, I enjoyed the build.  I should have rippled the "water" more for more realism but I will be doing the caulk and spray paint method again...practice.  

A few more pictures:

Next to a 1/72 Sea Harrier ("What if" AEW version without the radar pod and damage due to a fall) to give the project some scale.

Reminds me a bit of this artist's impression I saw in a book years ago, where sea darts took off from a dutch channel! (tho no sub there...hehe)

Very nice!
Great dio

The photo with the Sea Harrier really does convey their tiny size well - even more impressed

Whif at 1/350 is very impressive!
It opens new perspectives indeed. The variety of kits at that scale might be less than at 1/72, but there are quite a few models around, I think.

and seaplanes are beautiful!
