    Looking for Help

    Hello

    I have a trumpeter 1/144 Kilo submarine that I want to turn into a static diving R.C submarine. My question, is there anyone out there who has a template / pattern of where to cut out the flood holes on this submarine, their location and size?

    Even pictures of one already done and working, from All sides, would help, as well as the flood hole sizes.

    Thanks for the help.

      I used a drawing of the Kilo I got from another site. Click image for larger version

      Printed it and had it enlarged to the same size as the model. Click image for larger version

      I then aligned the hull with the drawing and marked out the locations of the flood holes. Click image for larger version

      You may want to place your further out from the centerline.

        Hello redboat219

        Thank you for your help. Can you tell me after you printed out the first plan, what enlargement Percentage did you use to get it to be the same size as the Kilo? If I understood your post, first just print out the plan you posted then enlarge it at a print shop???

        Please confirm and explain for "slow" person like me.

        Thanks

        George
