As you can see I am new to the forum
Having built a range of surface model boats over the years I have always yearned for a submarine. I have now taken the bold step of ordering an Engel U177 IX D2 after much research on manufacturers & model type. It looks a lovely model when complete.
Having explored this forum I am now getting mild- moderate anxiety that I have bitten off too much for my first project. I do not have an engineering background but have a range of bench & model tools, patience & an inquisitive mind & an element of obsessionalism if needs be.
Also I can find relatively few references to the model compared to others- is there any particular reason?
When the kit arrives & the build starts I will try & post pics.
Any advice (& reassurance) would be appreciated
Best wishes
Rob Jones
