        Inside pics! Want to see how it’s powered! I used to have one of these hulls decades ago and sold it before I could build it. Big regrets!

              The sub was build around 2005 to 2007 and was updated over the years

                OH My God!

                I Love this stuff! It almost looks like a Arkmodel Type VII hull system! (materials, and the way the top deck comes off) I love the complexity! For sure worth the wait!

                      Thank you, Sinksalot! Are they in parallel or is the boat running on 6V and two seperate power busses?

                        The two 6v batteries are combined to power the sub at 12v

                            Very nice.

                              I will be adding more detail, as I plan of adding some parts after I print them with my resin printer
