This is the only photo I've been able to find depicting this class of sub chaser. 

Base, ready for the model to be mounted, shows position of sub chaser and submerged sub. 

The model is mounted on the base. Yet to be done: sculpting and painting of bow wave, wakes, and splash of depth-charge, mounting of crewmen on sub-chaser, and rigging.

The sea is finished-- bow wave, wakes, periscope, and splash of depth-charge.
