Russian Akula Submarine

It's a wonderfully detailed radio controlled model in case you haven't guessed. I spoke to it's proud owner who said it took over three months to build and balance. It was about 3 feet long and had to be transported on a wheeled trestle. It could actually dive to a depth a 30 feet which is somewhat deeper than Millhouses boting pond in Shefield.
