U.S. Subchaser (Wilhelmshavener)

**Beachead** · #1 04-04-2020, 04:19 PM

I've been working on this little beauty for a while now. Publishers section list it as being designed by D. Lipinski, Toronto. It was a simple (not so much) one page build in 1:250 scale. There are a preverbal ton of small parts. I should be done with it soon.

Dear Beachead:
Thank you for sharing! I was unaware of the existence of this wonder which is right in my alley. Nice build.

Hi Greg, it's good to see somebody is actually building this model. I've been selling it together with the Russian minesweeper for a few years now. Since my old Paper Lab website is down while I'm working on the new one both models are also offline. But if anyone is interested you can contact me directly.

And if you'd like to make your life easier by replacing few paper parts with 3D printed pieces let me know and we might be able to arrange something.

Thanks. Man this little thing had a bunch of small parts. There are a few pieces that are not called out on the line drawings. I was able to figure them out, sorta, by just trying to spot it in the completed line drawings. Other than that, it was a great build.

Thank you Greg and Darius:
I have both the subchaser and the minesweeper from the paper lab but I got confused with the post of the Wilhemshavener!
I will attempt the subchaser in 1/400 I just don't know when.
It is a very attractive model.
Thanks for sharing.
PS If my memory doesn't fail me Paper Lab was going to release a Flower Corvette
Is this correct?

Flower Class was available in digital format from Paper Lab website but couple of years ago was published in paper format by HMV. You can see this model made by drg. here
