    Too funny I use to date a Admiral's daughter in Pearl long time ago. Don Speilberger of Loyalhanna Dockyard has those molds and the 1/72 Alfa and 1/96 Delta II molds. His email is don963@aol.com. He has a Charlie kit for sale right now on RC Groups.
    Hate to be a PAIN in the ..........backside but I cant find it. Not in the boat section and not under submarines. As far as Loyalhanna is concerned I cant ever get thru to the guy...................but Ill try.........again.

    Dace check my math on the Victor III length in 1/72 scale. Published info says Victor III is 334.8' long. At 1/72 I come up with 55.8" long.

    Actually I built one of the Alfa hulls and the guy used Deep Sea Designs plans. I laid the hull on the plans and it was dead on. The rest of the parts like sail, stern planes and rudders were off so I made new ones. My email is timcobb55@yahoo.com

    I'll need your mailing address.

    Not counter-rotating. Two identical wheels on the same shaft, turning the same direction. Combat Models. John Rucks? No thanks, his work was terrible.

    Here are the pics of the screw. If it is useful to you let me know and I can mail it to you. And for all the guys who didn't serve on nuke boats a S5W is a nuke reactor. It stands for Submarine, fifth generation, Westinghouse. Here is a pic also of a brushless counter rotating motor that would be perfect for Victor.

    Guys I have given Don email addresses to all you guys that inquired about a kit several times. Today I will email him and tear him a new one. I have to look for his phone number. He said I could post his number so let me exercise my coffee index finger just like the master chief's us to and I will see what I can do on that number. Dave I am gong to make a run to Staples and enlarge the Victor drawings
    Excellent. Give me the hub diameter on that beast (to 1/72) and I'll get started on the tandem screws. By the by, I've completed a S5W type propeller to 1/72nd scale and am 80% done with a 1/72 THRESHER/PERMIT (original, small) sail. Would either/both be useful to you as tooling? Knowing you're working on a 1/72 THRESHER/PERMIT kit.
