That is not the correct anchor for Nautilus, or any other USN ship. Yes, I'm a rivet counter, having served for 23 years and, I have the 1:1 scale Nautilus parked just a few miles from where I sit now. I don't know what the actual specs are for the hook, but a USN anchor for a WWII destroyer in the same scale should work. What you purchased is a European anchor. Model Monkey (Steve Larson) makes nice 3D printed stuff. Good luck!

I need to get a printer to do that boat in 1/96 as a display.

Replaced the hatch, fixed tail seam and hull seams. Anchor arrived from Australia.

Not sure if it's the camera angle but it looks like the port side shaft is more angled than the starboard side.

Its the camera angle, lol

Looking awesome so far!

I'm doing a print of these files for Frank, scaled to 155%, so about 83" overall length.

He must like having a bad back.

Nice work Bruce!

I am amazed at what you are doing with Tinkercad. Looking forward to more photos of your build.
