This is my Sheerline Trafalgar rescued from ebay. The first owner had made a start on her but not made a very good job, so I disassembled it, stripped the paint off and then rebuilt it, added some detail and repainted her. She is not to the same standard as some of the Trafalgars I have seen but I'm proud of her. :-)

good effort I am about to do the same thing with an Ohio. Bill

EXCELLENT photos!

Excellent work :-))
I think Sheerline subs are the best that money can buy.

Russ, you old smoothie!! :embarrassed: She looks fine Russ but if you want to make her look a little more consistant internally, whip the dive unit out and aim a can of satin black car paint at it, that will take the 'just put together look' away . Provided all the bits are in the right place within the hull and the unit is watertight, she will still perform just the same.

RSM, you may be interested in one or two small mods to your boat, I have incorporated these on the later mk2 kit, pm me if you are interested.

Mod 1: The propeller now goes on the front.
Mod 2: Fit live warheads.
.... is that me off your Christmas card list then Chris? %)

Look and weep, the full sized one has just been Junked.

Prop on the front eh Martin? Anything to oblige, but do tell me if you want that with or without the Kort nozzle before you order it. I think such a mod may seriously affect the re-sale value a little though.... {-)
I knew you were up to something Russ! :P

Like the Paintwork, nicely dulled down, you'll love sailing this boat, especially if you've got the batteries in the keel.
