Calling all Royal Navy T-class fans

[Tom Cervo]

Royal Navy submarine fans are in for a treat, as the second release is the T-class Group III vessel HMS Tabard, which will be available in 1/350 as a single kit and 1/700, the latter supplying sufficient parts for one full-hull and one waterline model. These will also be accompanied by PE and turned brass accessories and are planned for the third quarter of 2018.

A decent kit of the T class in this scale has been sorely missing.

Reading this article on the T-class conversions:

https://rnsubs.co.uk/articles/developme ... rsion.html

It mentions an article by Roger Fry in the February 1990 issue of Ships Monthly that discusses the conversion details a little further. $13 later, I have tracked down said magazine and perusing it reveals no such article. A little more digging and I would hedge my bets that the issue actually is February 1992 (issue 026). An initial search and I don't see February 1992 on eBay, and I also am not too interested in being $26 down ($13 x 2), figured I'd inquire here if anyone happened to have said magazine and article by Roger Fry regarding post-war T-class conversions?

I requested a scan via interlibrary loan, so hopefully that comes through soon. It's possible the request won't go through since we don't know the page numbers, but worth a shot.

Ok here's the scan courtesy of the Hamilton Library at the University of Hawai?i at M?noa:

Interlibrary loans are awesome! I have gotten a wealth of amazing books and articles using them that otherwise would have been impossible to get.
