Shar2 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Superb. My grandfather served as a stoker on K class subs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flankerman Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Dave, He didn't shovel coal did he ?? I know the K-Class were steam-driven - but I thought they were oil-fired. I assume 'Stoker' was a trade rather than a description ?? Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flankerman Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Nice......... Are you only making one version - the early style with low bow ???

Shar2 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Jim Bauman built one here. http://www.modelwarships.com/reviews/ships/hms/k-class/350-cs-jb/jb-review.htmldon't know if the colours are valid, but they look pretty good. I'm sure they were mainly grey, black with white areas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
