HMS Tabard - 1/350 scale submarine


Recommended Posts

Who's been busy then ? - another one for the collection.

 

This time its the 1/350 scale resin kit of HMS Tabard from Starling Models.....

It isn't actually finished - it needs the addition of aerial wires (as soon as I get some elastic thread).....

This is a superb kit of a T Class sub from Starling models and deserves to sell well - thus encouraging them to make more Royal Navy Submarines....

Although it is at the limit of my skills - given my failing eyesight and lack of manual dexterity - I really enjoyed building it...

I'll post more pics when I get the 'rigging' done...

She looks lovely unfinished.

Apparently Mike at Staling says that sales have picked up on the T Class and work may start on an S Class. Hopefully, Staling will be on a roll and get a few more done for us.

I wish I could afford one of those beauties.

Another option would be search for '1/350 Atlas Submarines' on evil bay, a die cast option but with a little work...

 

@andrewa has done a RFI using one of these metal jobs here:

It looks great Ken, you have done a fine job and the base is a very good complement to the model.

 

As Stuart says the T class has almost sold out of the first run so an S class is on the cards.  Unfortunately this will be delayed due to the need to look for a different designer, which is still ongoing, but it certainly is a good chance for 2020.

would HMS Thule be able to be made from the T Class ( Alastair Mars - Submarine boat  )

I don't see why not - both Tabard and Thule are Third Group T-boats.

 

The decal sheet provides enough penant numbers for P325.

 

The Starling Tabard kit even provides for an open-topped gun emplacement.....

 

I don't know what other visible differences there are?
