Will you be punching out ALL of the limber holes?

Nope, just the above waterline ones. I'll punch fake flood-drain holes in the bottom of the keel.

The rudder operating shaft is a jam fit to the skeg sections and the bore of the rudder is a non-interference fit to the operating shaft. It takes only moments to install/remove the entire rudder assembly.

Interference Fit. Got it....

I
Is the rudder post glued to the rudder piece and freely rotates in the top and bottom stern section

or does the rudder piece pivot around a fixed rudder post?

Can't you just use trimmed down 1/72 Type VII/IX props like what you did with the Chinese Type 092 SSBN?

I am disgusted at the depth of your hypocrisy! You are using 3D printed props? That stands against everything I know about you! Then there is a side of me that (said with an evil laugh) we are winning you over to the good/modern world. All joking aside, I love what I continually learn from you. That is a brilliant way to reinforce and build up a prop. I like the using styrene as a gauge to keep the props even in depth. Thank you.

You do know where you can stick that evil cackle of yours... right?

In association with Joe Hoffman -- who provided the robot produced masters -- I'm turning it all into tooling that will permit production of 1/96 Type-21 hulls.

















The plan is for me and Joe to have our boats ready for this year's Flee-Run in N.C. Our mission: Harras and destroy all Allied shipping and make the waters safe for National Socialism.
