Hi,

it will not have bow thrusters.
I'm not a fan of wheathering and I have to say that painting was a difficult step for me, it's not my favorite thing.
can someone tell me what these white lines parallel to the water are for ?

[JHapprich]

Well done! Are you going to apply wheathering as well? Will it have bow thrusters, too?

...and with his painting.
It still lacks the markings and the matte protective varnish.
In reality the red paint is not as clear as in the photos. I used the same brand and reference as Bob in his video(Liquitex Professional Spray Paint - 12oz/400ml, Cadmium Red Medium Hue ref 0151):

Modification of one of the wtc supports which is smaller than the others (I don't know why).

Love it! Great work so far!

I'm back after a 3d printer breakdown and a lot of putty work on the hull to align the upper part and the lower part.
I will be able to move on to painting the hull

Thanks Rob,
I must say that I take great pleasure in making this submarine. For the moment, I am only at the model part. It is not always obvious.
I realize that with large pieces, there are distortions in the print. They have to be recovered with mastic.

lower part of the hull with primer paint

Small modification compared to the assembly diagram: the front of the hull (part 8) has been fixed to the lower part of the hull and not the upper part in order to avoid working with magnet connections for the bow planes controls .

Hi Frank,

Your Typhoon is very impressive. I have been following your build and watching the progression you have made. I am impressed with your bow plane linkage, and if I am looking at them correctly, they will not only operate as a fully functional bow plane, but recess back into the hull when not in use?

Keep up the great work! And keep posting up your photos.
