I have a file with the 6 pages of drawings I used on my computer. Problem is I don't know what scale they will come out at. My hull is exactly 55" from the bow to the end of the stern not including the props. Send me a email and I will send you the file then you can resize. timcobb55@yahoo.com

Here is the first hull out of the molds. Came out great. Hard to see all the detail in the hull before painting. Used 5 yards of 50" wide 6oz cloth. Took over a quart of resin. I can already see the time and materials in making one kit so like the other molds I made in the past I am only going to make a handful of these.3 Photos👍 1Comment

Thanks Tom. I have to buy more materials to make a couple more kits. Dave I am laying up your hull today. Pics show a coat of epoxy resin and fiberglass powder. I brush in a coat of that so that all the detail in the molds get picked up with no voids. Then I start laying glass. Make the surface of the hull damn near bullet proof.2 PhotosComment

This beast will be the perfect stable mate for my 1/72 ALFA.

Tom I will order the materials today for your kit. Dave you have to love a Alfa. I have the best most scale Alfa plans on the planet. Got them from a guy in Russia. I thought about doing a 1/48 Alfa. Waiting for a SSY I-19 kit. I also have a SSY 1/48 type IX kit. Going to pore the appendage RTV molds today. Found some stupid flaws in the Victor sail mold so have to remake that. I am going blind and deaf.Last edited by 598602G; 07-21-2019, 02:13 PM.Comment

Dave here is your hull. Came out good. Hate the TX heat. Garage is like a oven. Only plus side on the heat is I can lay up hulls in the bedroom then drag it out to garage for some quick dry. That sail has flaws and I have to remake the sail mold.5 PhotosComment
