I've recently laid the keel for a new model of the infamous I-68 Japanese sub that inflicted serious damage to the US Navy during the war. She was 336' aggressive long range trouble. And besides...Sully needs a Japanese sub for the 'player boat' fleet. :d

Great idea TR. A few new IJN subs will help out nicely.

Looks great Tango. How about a nice 14 foot, flat bottom duck hunting boat. And maybe a flock of Mallards or Canada Geese to go with it.

The dreaded I-168, responsible for the sinking of U.S.S. Hammann and U.S.S. Yorktown at Midway, Seems these waters are getting a bit dangerous, nice looking work TR :applause:

...you get wind of my next project? Have you been hacking my network again? :costumes::costumes:
I'm just perfecting the WEP_12_Gauge. The boat's done, but the AIR file for the multi-duck aircraft is giving me some problems! :isadizzy:

...along nicely. But I gotta take a break on this one as Sully just finished the files for the player version of the VII boat. Gotta put the package together. :running:

German and Japanese. Great stuff T_R!
Could I ask for a British boat to go along with them?
I know we have Brunos very fine U Class, but a T Class would be nice too

...had submarines? OMG...I must consult Collin! :costumes::costumes:
I have been thinking a bit about a T Class boat, but they're so damned ugly! But I have found the S Class Brit subs that are roughly equivalent to the German VII and that I am putting on the list after the I-68. The Brit S boats served in both the European and Pacific theatres. See a shot of HM S/M Strategem...and I will probably do HM S/M Stygian. :ernae:

The I-68 model is now complete and awaits only a good texture job. If any painters out there want to send me a skin, I'll apply it. Otherwise, we're just stuck with my mediocrity. :costumes:

The I-68, now I-88 is complete. I'll try to get her posted shortly. I'm very happy with how she turned out....even the texture looks pretty good (for a paintbrush jerk like myself). :wavey:

I agree - very nice!
Poor virtual Yorktown. Seems she is going to meet her virtual fate soon.
History repeats, lol!

I've got one more boat to do for the Brits....and then I will upgrade the VII boat with your suggestions...plus some texture improvement. :ernae:

Tango, great sub work...err...I mean great work on the sub's. I always thought we had a paucity of representation for the submariners.
Thank you!

Thanks, Tango-Romeo. A must for the Pacific Theater fleet.
