Hi rc-sub.com!!
QUESTION: How to best seal the deck, and prop shafts?
BACKSTORY:
Want to get into RC Subs, specifically plastic model conversions. Created a progression:
1. Fix an old broken RC ship that was taken completely apart.
2. Convert a cheap plastic model ship kit to RC.
3. Convert a cheap plastic model sub kit to dynamic dive.
4 Convert a cheap plastic submarine kit to static diver.
5. FINAL: Convert a old Revell 1/72 Gato kit to static diver RC.
In light of that, a challenge on step one I am having is sealing the shafts to the hull (preventing water entry between hull and the metal shafts), and water that enters between the deck and the plastic sides. The ship is a 30” destroyer with a deck that I pulled off to work on the inside (very similar to a plastic model kit).
Any help is appreciated! Newbie here.
