Apologies if this has been posted.  Pricey and a limited supply, but at the least it's some great inspiration!

Very impressive, but I don't know how you'd field it (unless you modeled it in dry-dock...).

Or play an underwater game. which would be AWESOME! :D

Fitchenfoo is a great blog in general. High quality work and his hair spray and kosher salt weathering technique is very useful.

Looks like a "Titan Terrorfish" from "Stingray".
Gorgeous kit though.

Sure does / is.

A tad pricey for my wallet though, may have to have a go at making one in a slightly smaller scale.

For those willing to add their own rivets, I recently noticed some motorized toy fish in a US discount department store (Target) for about $10US, summer clearance, that I thought looked even more like the Terror fish, about the same size..

Assuming I can still get one and photo it, I'll put up some piccies.

Obviously, you plop down $100US, and cut it in half...   lol

Edit: I picked up the toy fish, actually not THAT much a TT, but usable. However, getting an image is problematic. Still working...

Too expensive for me, but I would suggest to field it as an aeronef  lol
