Can't wait to see it in campaign

I don't want to move out from the main topic, but some time ago you said you'll reuse some old models of the Type 51 and Type 63 and you were interested in the more modern Types 81 and 93. Talking about these and especially with the Type 81: someone sometimes considers them, due to their external similarities, sister ships, but they had complete different designs. Type 81 ( one of the most difficult classes where to find information and photos on internet) was, in fact, an improved version of the Type 63, with the hull design; externally the only differences were the position of the vent holes, a bigger conning tower and, obviously, the shark nouse bow ( which was, however, not present in the first version of the project, which had the same rounded bow of the type 63 )


original plans for type 81, with external modifications drawn in pencils.




I hope it could be useful for your work
