Hello everyone.
My name is Rob & I live in France. I bought this a couple of weekends ago at a Brocante(car boot/yard sale)& despite spending a good few hours trying know very little about it. It is very well made (to me) & is constructed from wooden planks nailed to internal ribs, the conning tower is metal. I have a couple of scratch built steam locos & R/C planes but have no real idea when it was made- if I had to guess it would be 1930's to 60's. It is approx 70" long & there is nothing much inside except for some "mechanicals" near the propellor end.
Was it scratch built from a plan? Can anybody tell me what sort of Sub it is & from what era?
Any help gratefully received.
Many thanks.
Regards Rob
