So, post phase-2 yard period represent the forward deck hatch recessed, the after deck hatch standing proud.

I was able to cobble together the hatches, but thank you.
Is the hatch at the front of the boat recessed, while the one at the back surface mount??Leave a comment:

Wow. I don't remember seeing that video - but I might have been off my chops on meds, so who knows. She look great in the water in any case. I know that the dorsal rudder is fitted to a separate angle keeper; wondering if the rate of operation is quick enough to keep the boat vertical all the time?
One of the 'recover from Depth Excursion' protocols was to not only to ring up all-back-mother****er, fishtail the rudder, full rise on the bow planes, and fishtail the dorsal rudder. (At one point they even employed a B-47 landing parachute!)
Today I took a break from production work and did a bit more detail on our 1/96 ALBACORE. I've gone nutso on the hatch detailing. Here are some shots of that work:
And here's some underwater video of the 1/60 ALBACORE, demonstrating how well the active dorsal rudder works to keep this boat vertical, no mater the speed or rudder angle:

That boat looks magnificent. I can't wait to see it painted and rocketing around the pond.Leave a comment:
