Filmed at Southern Model Show in Headcorn, Kent, UK. I find these models fascinating. Not only super realistic in appearance but superbly driven and demonstrated to an appreciative crowd at the show.

Very cool. Thanks for posting that. My grandfather was killed on the U52, so anything that involves U-boats is always fascinating to me.

A beautifully detailed and skillfully presented model.
It's probably a shade too big for my bath, but there's a sizeable Loch at the bottom of my path
is the model available commercially, or was it scratch built from plans?
Now, if that deck gun could only move.... it would be perfect!
Launching some sort of torpedo would, of course, be utopian.
