Ahoy
I am new here I just registered, I am concidered a newbie to the sewer pipe navy. Being a Retired cheif boatswain mate most of my collections in Rc and static are all surface vessels of all types. 7 years ago I aquired a Dumas Dynamic diceing sub Bluefish the kit is all built and water tight tested in my bath tub testing tank.No water leaks in at all I dont like the hatch cover lid as per instructions use patrolium jell and hold down with rubber bands. I am up for suggestions on updateing my hatch cover lid, the WTC is all fiber glassed inside out this is my first sub so bare with me, I am dumb as a box of rocks when it comes to subs. this is the reason i joined the website forum to learn and meet a lot of fine fellas as yourselves. So far on the scuttlebutt I been hearing nothing but negative feed back of the bluefish and wondering id I bought a lemon submarine. I havent took it out for sea trials yet but planning on going to the metro pond tommorow.After applying patrolium jelly on the inside of the hatch lid I rubberband it down I submerged the sub in my bath tub and let stand over night submerged this morning no leaks the WTC is dry as a desert plain. So far So good If any one here has or had any experience with this kit I am all ears, Attached are the pictures of my Bluefish and I threw in my U.S.S. ARIZONA all scratch 1/96 scale RC in the measure of 5d.
