if they're 1/20 scale they'll be about 15 and 20 feet long respectively. Made of metal i bet they're pretty heavy. Stug....why don't you give me a hand and you can take one and i'll take the other.

You could always try to find out who made them and try to have whom ever made them to make you a set. or you could just pitch a tent over them and live there....

It looks like a Fleet Submarine, but I can't quite nail down the class, the conning tower has a less common shape than most of the Fleet Subs I've seen. Perhaps a modified postwar Tench class...?? You didn't by any chance see a name plate on this thing did you Red...??

LOL
