    At the moment they are just slotted on the pipe, the lower fin slides into the main hull and stops it from rotating. I will need to make the nozzels and those will be held in place by 2 screws. An added benifit of this is Painting will be much easier.

                    They are parts originally used on the smaller 30 inch model and replicated in larger form on the larger model. Oh they are ramps from The Airfix scammel tank transporter.

                          Someday when I grow up I want to be like you! LOL I so enjoy seeing your work.
                          If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.
