          Thank you Gantu, I hoped my comments might have tickled the dragon's tail and you would elaborate or correct me. Excellent as always.

                David, in this shot did you construct the square to round shaft for the stern planes?, if so how? Just silver solder the round and square together? In the second shot any special kind of putty and 2 part epoxy? Can I use West Systems 205? Click image for larger version

                  Soft solder is more than adequate for that job. By the way I did not sleeve a round tube/rod into the square tube. I simply rounded the four edges of the square tube to fit a slightly undersize bore within the stern plane -- an interference fit that permits easy take-apart if the need should arise. And now...

                  Commence rant!

                  You idiots didn't lay cash down on fittings kits when they were available. Now it's all gone away. Oh, well. You snooze; you lose. As it turned out, all our fittings' kits were a bust. People, even today, think they can practice this facete of the r/c game on the cheap. Screw it, I'm the last of the breed; most of you don't have the skills to do this weird stuff -- can your Star Trek Replicators assemble, paint, weather, integrate the sub-systems, trim, outfit, and run your model for you (not yet, but eventually -- thank God I won't live long enough to see that sad state of affairs materialize! Remember the Krell!!!!).

                  Secure from rant!

                  And now, the pretty pictures:

                    Thank you Sir, yeah I was not in this game when your stellar fittings kits were available…. looks like Bob will not be producing the kits from the molds you shared. I totally appreciate what you share! Going back thru all the Dive Tribe videos has illustrated your selfless willingness to share what others shared with you and what you have learned.

                      Thanks for that, sir. Just trying to keep the torch lit, but it's fading fast.

                      I'm almost ready for Red Clay. How about you?

                        Wonder where are the Krells are with their replicators?
                        Should be easy for you to 3D print own fittings.

                          The fittings kits sure made it easy to convert plastic models to working subs. They also convinced me to buy sub-drivers after trying to make my own cylinders. People still don't want to pay the money for a working cylinder but most of the self made ones are crap.
