      ... and I have compared it with the 1:350 scale Balao by Toms Modelworks. In addition to the hull length difference there is also difference in the hull shape. It is "beefier". Add to that there is a intermediate deck which the conning tower sits. Not saying that it can't be done, but it isn't a splice together job. You will likely need a set of lines (I think Maryland Silver may have a set) and a supply of Evergreen & putty to do the job properly.
