Unfortunately, it was... and a very bad, very serious one at that.   5 months in the hospital after a high-speed racing crash, involving many many broken bones (neck, spine, ribs, shoulder, etc etc etc)

Thanks!
I'm not even close to recovered, though... I have a long road of physiotherapy ahead of me for a long time. 
But at least I can still build models!   :D

Glenn

This boat is cover with anechoic tiles. You are not able to see any of the pressure hull.

This is U-11 she carry out sea trials in 1940 of a new anehoic tile, which was developed by the Kriegsmarine to reduce a submarines' acoustic signature. It was codenamed Alberich after the invisible sorcerer from Germanic Mythology.

Fine example of that famous "ahead of it's time" German engineering.
I especially like the Ducted Prop. I guess an effort in lowering the cavitation sound.

Model building is great for clearing the mind of current problems,, not so good for the back ;)
