Nostalgia aint what it used to be. The U44 model is excellent and it is so authentic.

Remember the Sutcliffe toys back in the 50s, I think they also made a sub but not actually a scale one. Never had one myself but I did have the Bluebird which I think was Malcolm Campbell's as it was a lot different from the K7 which Donald had.
I have a vague memory that Sutcliffes did bring out a later model of the Bluebird and I would like to hear from anyone who may have had one .

A sinister looking device 😲
Very nicely done 👍
How many of these 'beasts' do you have now? Must be quite a fleet!
A decent sized 'Wolf-pack' by now 😉
