Building the little Kilo submarine

[MFR1964]

Made some progress on the rudder and diveplanes, also some work how to fasten the upper hull part without using tools,



Getting those things in by using tweesers and a lot of patience.



Result is moving diveplanes and rudder.



Made a dryfit with the SD to see if everything worked out as intended.



Placed the rear bulhead with the shaft and control rods for the diveplanes and rudder.



First step in getting me a way to fasten the upper part, used some foil to prefent glueing the upperpart down on the lower part.

Since too many pics at once is giving problems, the next batch,




Unpacking the nose, last step is to remove the foil to see if things worked out.



This was the goal, a neodyne magnet placed on the lower part and a magnet on the upperpart, which is not visible due to the bracket.



Stole this idea from David, a small tab made at the rear of the upperpart.



It will slide into the lower part, securing the upperpart at the rear, the magnet in front will hold down the front of the upperpart.



This one is for you Romel, signed off the floodholes at the bottom, they are probably not scale but at least functional, did count in the places of the cadles inside the hull, so cutting them out will give no problems.
