What's the maximum length of 2" dia. wtc that'll fit inside the hull?

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Yes to all your recommendations, Steve. I'll also cut the stern radially to capture horizontal and vertical stabilizers as a hollow resin casting.

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Primed. will do more fine sanding. The hull break will leave for you 'as is' as you requested David. I know you decided on a water line break, but if you can cast the parts you planed, fully with yur rubber molds maybe consider maybe the already done fore and aft hull break? I am including a xerox of the hull parts to outline the dimensions.

Just make a smaller 2 inch inside diameter bayonet locking ring instead. The diagram shows there is enough gap between inner and outer hulls for a bayonet ring The jut makes wtc attached to stern with two screws for easy removal for inspections and maintenance? You're the engineer on this project so leave to you. the limber holes in hull are already done for you.

The exterior torpedo tubes are printed to but suggest these perhaps could be made instead out of brass tubing and then then would be able to launch small electric torpedoes.

Beautiful. Can do. I'll further break the stern radially right where the horizontal stabilizers meet the hull -- that after section will be a hollow cast resin item. The remaining stern and bow sections will be GRP. This is going to be a fun project, Steve! Yes, this must be a torpedo shooter!

Primed. will do more fine sanding. The hull break will leave for you 'as is' as you requested David. I know you decided on a water line break, but if you can cast the parts you planed, fully in single pieces with your miraculous rubber molds maybe then already done with a fore and aft hull break?

I'll send you the tubes too for you to decide or if for nthing else sizing the new brass ones from the printed parts dimesons.

The hatches need work.

!/32 scale Italian CB class sub coming up!

I'm sure that notebook is full of interesting and useful information just like Da Vinci's. How I'd love to get a copy.

About time you put TAIG version-3 together...Version-2 has burnt gravitas though.

I'm disposing of all evidence of that colossal idiot induced fire, Jake. (Surprised you dare leave your stuff here overnight).
