Here is the promised oldest Nautilus from abc (2 A4 pages on this image):

And this is how it's supposed to look like:

The model should be able to float, sink and resurface, remotely controlled by a rubber air balloon and a hose (Ladislav Badalec's Sword submarine used the same principle later). The author of this Nautilus is J. Svoboda.

Maestro Vyškovský and his son run a company called ERKOtyp, here is their e-shop.
This is the contact page with addresses etc.

Hope it helps.

Mirco, there is only one problem....they only speak/read/write czech....i´ve had this problem in the past. There was no chance to order, until a modeler friend took a weekend trip to Prague...he visited the shop with a large order list

Yea, small problem, there are 6 kits I would like to buy, and two of them one extra copy for a total of 8 kits, and there is no way for us outside of the Czech Republic to buy their offerings

We could try it this way:
1) Anybody who wants models from Erkotyp, PM your order to me.
2) I'll buy the ordered models and pick them personally in Prague so there will be no risk of damage or extra postage.
3) Someone in the US agrees to be a distributor. I'll send all the models to him in one big package, he sends me the money and handles the rest of the distribution (this will reduce the over-Atlantic postage significantly).

The same for Germany and other countries.

What do you think?

The only thing I have no experience with is the online banking, but I have no problem with learning .

On the Internet there are a lot of them - but they are not always easy to find.
I therefore created a list of links to models by Richard Vyskovsky.
he is not quite ready yet, but already contains about 200 models.

You can find the List here:
