Versuchs Schnellboot 5 (VS 5) Semi-submersible Attack Boat | Old Machine Press

[redboat219]

Submersible Tragflugelboot. Plan was to wait in submerged mode. Once the enemy was in range ballast tanks were blown and high speed attack and subsequent evasion was done on the surface.

Here's something I wish Manfred made.

Rudolf Engelmann's Versuch Schnellboot 5 (Experimental Fast Boat 5 or VS 5) also known as Engelmann-boot, a semi-submersible, fast-attack torpedo boat for use in coastal waters. Armament consisted of two forward-firing, 21 in (533 mm) torpedo tubes in the bow and two 20 mm cannons atop the superstructure.

Hi David.

I have been working on a second CB 1/32 model exactly like the one I sent you (to be for a static model instead to the RC one I am excited about). But I wanted to alert you the prop in the printing stl file I sent you used to print the Prop sent is all wrong I just discovered.

The diameter is correct, but the pitch is Wrong, th print is reversed from the photos of the real one in the museum in Zagreb. Croatia. The Prop is a slow turning pitch mickey mouse eared 3 bladed bronze. The model shaft diameter is a M2, the prop diameter is 1.4 inches, the hub diameter 5/16 inches, and 7/16 inches long.

Wnat me to order 3 frmt he prop shop in UK or you wish t make yur wn. I am fine with yours completely. I would need two props, one for the rc version and a spare for the static model.

Sorry about that.

Steven

******, Sorry David. The pitch and diameter. rotation of the printed prop is correct after all after re examining after a nap.

Only the shape seems wrong. Sorry. my age is getting to me. The shape of the blades only is off.

Reminds me of baby feeding bottle covers.

It always amazes me how real submarines keep water out, with that pressure and a spinning shaft, along with linkage for the rudder and dive planes.

Dave, do those seals for the linkage go in one way or does it matter? I found that grease you use on Amazon. Expensive, but you’ll never use it all in a decade.

Either way, does not matter.

The silicon oil is perfect for sliding or rotating shafts. The grease I use for fixed seals, like bulkhead O-rings. (This week I rejoin the work on your U-1 parts).
