Today's work on the little Revell SKIPJACK fittings kit

[secrtwpn]

I received my package today. Workmanship is awesome!. Two questions: 1) It is required to cut out the bottom ballast tank vents on the model and 2) what is "zip cord" ? I'm sure I'll have more as time goes on!

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

I'm a GOD!!!!!

(crack of thunder)

Anyway...

.... Yes, open up some flood-drain holes in the bottom of the hull. And punch a hole in the hull duck under the sail before glueing the sail in place, and open up the bridge atop the sail -- all that to vent off the air within the model as you dunk it underwater to flood the spaces around the SubDriver.

Zip-cord is two-conductor insulated wiring -- use the smallest stuff you can get. Small gauge 'speaker-hook-up-cord' can be found at Walmart and the like.

Stop talking and start assembling, damit!

Another question:

Would the SL-6 receiver work in this WTC? And do I need the Shadow Programmer to program it??????
Gonna start on it this weekend!

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Yes.

No.

The Shadow Programmer (not needed by us r/c submariner's) is used with the SL-8 only.

Hey Dave,
I would like to install the mini sub driver into small subs with two screws, are the gears available to convert from single screw to two screw???

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

yup.

[small sub guy]

Thanx how do i go about ordering two of these motor end caps.

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

E-mail Mike Caswell (or call him names on this thread .... that'll get his attention!). Tell him you want three of the little 1.25 motor bulkheads, equipped with counter-rotating outputs. He'll bill you, bother me, and we'll get your product underway.

What are you going to stick these things into?

In my collection I have:

1/144 Gato, 1/350 Kursk, 1/350 Typhoon, 1/230 Lionfish and the 1/72 Type IIA.

Working too many subs need to focus on one.
this one is based on your Type VII. Yes that wtc fits in that 1 inch opening.

Mike and David, I want the little 1.25 motor bulkheads, some equipped with counter-rotating outputs including the lpb's. Bill me, bother David, and get the product underway. You have put this off for too long!

Ha!

I have yet to perfect the ballast system, Myron! Sure, we'll sell you the motor bulkhead with two counter-rotating outputs, but the rest is up to you. Game?

1/16" brass rod.

In a week (when we are back from vacation) I'm gonna start the reshaping of the bow. Any other substances besides the Evercoat (such as Milliput) that would work. I'm not familar with the Evercoat line. And any suggestions how to do it.......

If I ment Milliput, I would have SAID Milliput.

Too stiff!

I said to use one of the Evercoat two-part fillers for a reason!

That reason is the very smooth, easy to spread, nature of the stuff!

Mr. Caswell caries it, I recommend either the Evercoat Metal Glaze or Rage.

Get hoping!

Don't make me come over there!
