        Thank you Andy, I am not going to put a camera on the U-2326, but will add one to my U-505 so I saved that information, but now I have to go work on my U-2326 not allowed to chat.
        Again thanks
        Bill

          Before I screw the frames up big time, and there is no information in the RTFI does this look right, if so great, Tom drill a 1/8 in hole for the alignment screw,
          I did not have too it fell into the 1 inch hole exhaust hole
          again is this right?
          Thanks

            No issues Bill. Looks good!
            If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

                You put the tabs in backward.

                Moron!

                    Just a minor road-bump. Carry on, sir.

                      Yes David your right just like life, I broke one tab taking it off so I put that task aside for now, working on Conning Tower to I figure out how to fix my tap problem,
                      I may need to cut them all off and do something different Wine time HaHa

                        I just put the two hulls together a couple of times in fact and they go together great , have some more sanding and final touches to do, but works ok
                        So I am going to leave it for now, the taps being backwards that is and move on
                        I tried to get into your web site but does not load up, is it still active? Got the address from one of the post.

                          I don't have a web-site of my own. When I was D&E Miniatures I did, but that was a long time ago. This is where I hang out.

                              I check out the board, but don't participate. We had a falling out with the leadership over there about a decade ago.

                              What was the last worthwhile WIP thread you saw over there? Entropy has caught up with that bunch.

                              I build. They talk. I teach. Most of them have not advanced past the techniques and gear I developed and applied to this hobby in the 90's.

                              You may have gathered by now, Bill -- I don't play well with the other children.
