    I like the Surcouf. I've always been interested in subs, and this one always intrigued me. :)

    It is a beautiful hull. Mikey really knocked it out of the park on this one. It is a challenge to work on, though. The opening on the sub-deck is only 1.5" at the WIDEST! Internals will have to be installed from the side before sheeting. Most of our time this weekend was spent trying to figure out how to service it pond side.

    1/96, and it's only 1.5"s!!! Man, that is going to be tough to work in. How do you even get your hands in there? :)

    Almost everything has to go in through the space between the stringer and 1" below.

    I was wondering, Dustin, is Mikey planning on her being submersible, or just a surface runner?
