Building the little Kilo submarine

LPB it will be, no hassle with gas.

Still going with a gas ( butane/propane) to blow ballast or low- pressure blower?

Rebuilding a SD is going to be interesting, learned a lot from David how it has been done, the biggest task will be the bulkheads with the O rings,from that point it should be easier, have all the small bits in the spare department.

This is gonna be a good one.

[MFR1964]

I still had a Kilo submarine inside the box for some years, but i cannabilised the SD for building the 212, beside some small parts everything has to be remade.



This is the tube i have, naked to the bone.



Made those disks from plexiglas, in total 6, 4 some bigger for the bulkheads and two smaller to create a ballasttank.



Test fitting the smaller disk inside the tube, creating the bulkheads will take some glueing and work on the lathe.
