OK, I have just bought some Hobby Boss 1/700 models: do I build with periscopes, masts, etc up or retracted? I had thought probably down as there seems little point in them being up at anything other than periscope depth. Would subs ever run at sumerged depths with these exposed? |

For periscopes, only at very slow speed while taking a look at the underneath of another vessel. So, not really. Snort, radio/radar/EW masts, no. |

Masts up on the surface or at periscope depth only. They're never raised when deep. |

Thanks, that's what I assumed. Down it is. Also, less things to get broken! |
