Russian Alfa Class

Great work, Rob!

2" might be a tad on the high side. I'd shoot for something more like 1/2". You just need a whiff of positive buoyancy. Too much, and the boat will be fighting to stay under and be tricky to control when submerged.

Thanks Bob!

Today I finished up the interior and exterior finish work!



I finished out the interior of the hull with Red Oxide primer.



I used two 1/2" Velcro straps for the WTC hold downs.



I chose my standard rattle can finish on the exterior of the boat with a flat acrylic clear coat. As usual I will not be doing any of the detailed weathering on this boat, I how ever have some addition work to do on the not to scale sale array, but at this point I can consider this project complete. Thanks to all for your input and help!

I do have one more 3D printed submarine to complete and that is the German Type XXl U-2540. This is a model only and I do have a build blog started on it.
