Cool! This is not the end of the story. While most of the work is done Ill add to this thread with new pictures and video and modifications as they come along.

On the far side of the red and white marker buoy you can see that little doodad that I was talking about. It has been suggested that its an armored light with a wire cage protecting it. Im going to make one of those. Although this picture is not of an Oscar, I believe that the doodad is the same. Any Thoughts?

likely a transducer -- I would put my money on it being a BQC type, underwater-telephone. It's proximity to the marker-buoy is my clue here. But, as usual, I could be wrong.

Not to be outdone, the Oscar will also get the Sombra treatment. Since the Caswell/Mcleod ADF will not work with the Sombra, I also bought a ADF2 Pitch controller that will work with it.

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Who says the ADF will not work with the Sombra receivers, Mark? I got eight SD's that say otherwise. Five of them put on a flawless ten-hour show over the weekend.

Its the particular version of the ADF that I have, one of the early models. Kevin told me that if I mailed it to him he would update it for me.

Dave , take a look at this thread on the problems between the ADF and the Sombra.

I know this has been dead for a while but would it be possible to build an Oscar with working missile doors?

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Kevin McLeod's 1/96 OSCAR class model not only does that, but fires missiles from underwater as well.

Yes, Kevin is our overachiever.

[Hazegry]

I looked for a thread on it and couldn't find it can someone point me in the right direction?

[greenman407]

Kevin doesnt have a thread for his but if you PM him im sure that he would post some pictures.

[KevinMc]

Kevin's not an overachiever, he's an average achiever with an excess of bad ideas and stubbornness!

I did a build thread for the construction of my masters and molds on the SubCommittee website, but I found I didn't have enough time to built and report while trying to get ready for the Regatta that year. I went with "finish build as fast as possible to have something in the water".

I do have plenty of photos, I'm on the road 'till the end of the week but once I'm home I'll post a bunch of pics.
