DON"T DO IT!
How many subs have you heard of complety covered in rust? Now how many photos have you seen to support the fact?
Possibly 1 the German sub raised after 40 yrs & put on display in the UK. But not any sub that was in constant use
Marine growth would show more likely.
The paint & anti fouling coatings will stop most rust but some will occur at paint breaks where the hull has hit/rubbed against something, etc
These 2 piccys, used with permission, of a new paper model kit ( must put something in the forum about it) released last week show the small amount of rust that is required.
A little bit goes a long way with rust, also old tea bags allow for a rust look just run the liquid from the used teabag onto the surface.
