Fradel,

Thanks for the kind words. My Whale doesn't have a depth charge rack, basically
because I couldn't fit one in without it looking out of place. The vertical fans
(not sure what they’re really called) take up a lot of space, and I don't think
the GI Joe hovercraft featured these at all. Also, this hovercraft isn't
envisioned to operate far from rivers and shorelines, and I'm not sure it would
expect to encounter submarines vary often. Another weapon that the G.I.Joe WHALE
had that I couldn't find space for would have been a heavy gun or two.


A Bofors gun for the Swordfish, what kind do you mean?


BTW, Flickr pix are up for those of you who prefer that to BS, at:

Smashing as always. Have you thought of making a depth charge rack? If I recall correctly the GI JOE version might have had one. I'm sure if you make it modular enough, the Swordfish can become a monitor variant with a Bofors gun. F (17 years ago, 8-Oct-07, to lugnet.build.military)
