Black box found ;-)
Any other tipps for accelerating Epoxy? Am hesitent to use a heat lamp for fire safety...

Today i glued the 8mm grp-rod in beetween a cutoff on the upper hull to enhance the stability of that thinnes portion of the deck:

Hi! Found some time to continue during holidays! I still have got parts for a large wtc kit waiting for assembly and recently purchased a large 1/72 AKULA hull for it, again from Lazar Kerzmann. That one came with a nice though not scale Emergency Buoy that needed instant copy-casting for the Long Bin. Also made some hatches from PU that still need detailing and FINALLY reinstalled the aft stabalizer after tuning to proper appearence. Will install the lanterns next and finish the basic deck details from a new set of blueprints. Had to re-measure and -mark most of the already drawn-down stuff, e.g. position of the aft em-buoy was off.
Of course, i broke the upper hull right above the forward diveplanes once again and am right now fixing that, will mill out a recess to cast-in one or two grp-rods once the provisional epoxy backup has cured.

I have never seen that kind of boat before. Very unusual looking and a very good job.

Distinctive walkway...

Found it. Wow! He even has a Golf https://youtu.be/3CgdrDgvoeY

Did he intend to make the launchers functional (pyrotechnically) ?

Yup. Every bit of function of the launchers was to be at display. You'd look for the 651 juliett he made, search on youtube

I admire the ability of Ruissians to design every bit of elegance out of a submarine...

Dug these pics out from my previous mobile. From 2018, i remade the sail lantern, forward underice sonar and exhaust.

Lazar Kerzmann had a build report on a russian forum, showing how he made the master, the hull halves, and assembly of the model. He intended to install four launch tubes from stainless steel, but later sealed, filled, saded and primed all the openings he cutoff the sail prior to selling the boat to me.

WHISKEY hull with a 'long bin' sail housing cruise missiles. A carrier killer. Supplanted by the ECHO's.

Followed by the JULIETTS. 665 was a whiskey with a new mid-section containing the enlarged sail for four launchers for P5 missiles. Boat was too slow submerged / 12kts and according to several sources, VERY loud.

The hull is familiar, but I’ve never seen a sail like that. Cool boat.
