The boat took about two years to build ,the boat is a type 7b the conning tower has been altered, the Robbie 47 is a 7a . The Robbie boat is a dynamic diving boat which requires a fair amount of power to dive which also cuts down sailing time, the internals of my boat have been completely changed using a conversion by Clive wadsworth which works very well using an engel piston tank and switch and two Electronise low drain motors and electronic speed controller with bec system. The conversion is best done on the build but talk to Dave at Pandan models he is very helpful and as for my boat she is now the U 101 1940s vintage , I do have other subs and if anyone has problem I'll try and help email griffiths2846@griffiths2846.karoo.co.uk
