That's neat stuff, Strike. Why, praytell, did you initiate the models of the Zulu?

I was building submarines for a game called Virtual Sailor. I made a Japanese Midget Sub, a US WWII era S Boat and a GUPPY class sub with partial interiors (the midget had a full interior) and I really wanted to do a Russian boat. I picked the Zulu but I lost interest in VS when Dangerous Waters came out so I never finished the interior.

Bah 1956! Here is some trivia to amaze your friends! When was the last submarine armed with a deck gun decommissioned? Give up? 2000!
The Peruvian Lobo class (also called the Abtao class).
Two of these subs carried 5 in guns while two were only armed with torpedoes. They were US designed and built at Electric Boat. As you can see their hull design was very heavily influenced by the US GUPPY Boats.
