HMS OCELOT (74″ rc model). Demo of the diving system in the test tank (two baths joined togther!). The model dives by an air pump taking air from a central ballast tank and allowing water in. The sub surfaces by blowing the air back into the tank forcing the water back out. Working radar and lights are also fitted and switch off when the front planes are lowered ready to dive. This model is featured in the book ’simply submarines’ and was originally built over a period of 18 months by master model maker Alan Poole and completed in 1996. This model won Alan the ‘Maritime Award’ amongst others due to its high level of acuracy and attention to fine detail.
