Submarine HMS Excelsior

[tigercat]

In a slight deviation to the  my 5 year ship building plan I have decided to build myself a submarine.

I have been going through a bit of an axis phase and have been buying up Revell Schnellboot Flak to pilfer them for their AA armament as the way their moulded you get extra bits and pieces.

Anyway I have some extra hulls to play with and looking at them with the gap moulded for the torpedo tubes I'm thinking submarine . So the idea is to somhow take the bits and pieces and come out of the end of it with a submarine.

Having been perusing Maurice Cocker's book on British Submarines I 'm also tempted but the idea if a deck mounted torpedo tube for night attacks which was something they did or thought about doing for the ill fated K class.

Will have to see how it works out spacewise as i suspect it will be  a smallish submarine rather than something the size of Revell's GATO class.

If it's a "one of a kind" build, name it in the same series as the  HTP powered "Ex" boats  Explorer and Excalibur----also known as Exploder and Excruciator.   Perhaps HMS Excelsior???

Excellent suggestion , I was wondering to find a name as it wouldn't have fitted into a standard letter class.

You'll have fun with that in the bath Tiger 

I really do admire people who can come up with ideas like this and carry them through
