hello all. i am starting a revell vIIc sub. i have the hull mostly done.and have the caswell fittings kit.. i have gone over the cabal's page by page... and i have some questions for the ones who have gone before me.... in the following order the questions are
1 you should put the stern torpedo tube blank in before the rudder block assy yes or no.. also dave can you put in a working torpedo stern tube after the rudder assy is installed if you leave out the tube blank....
2 in the caball it shows 2 1/8th id brass tubes for the shafts to go through the stern tubes and the propeller shaft strut..my caswell fitting kit i just got didn't have any.i see that the shafts fit just fine after lightly boreing out the strut assy . so do i need the stuffing shaft(brasstube 1/8th id) i beleave i do as there is to much slop in the stern tube..getting some is not a problem...and it should go from flush from the rear of the struts to about a 1/2 inch in the hull correct? yes or no?
3 do i have enough flooding holes or will i need more?
4 i didn;t see the ballest weighs and foam kit on the website are they still avaliable?
5any mods need to be done to the ft torpedo block before install to acept working tubes later?
that is all for now thank you
