Nice collection. I have the Halinski Archerfish to build one of these days. Is yours the same kit or did you design it?

Thanks, rmks2000.

I started with the 1/200 Halinski but I convert all my models to 1/350 scale for submarines and 1/700 for surface ships. To do that, I scanned the pieces, inserted them in a graphics program and rescaled them.

Usually I join some pieces, like the central silhouette or "vertebral column", and there are a lot of small pieces that I can't reproduce in this smaller scale, so I made them from scratch.

Also, the walking wires are hardened thread, the rails are painted acetate and the mast and periscopes are electrical wire.

Here USS Archerfish submarine 1/350 scale is the making of this sub
