Looking for a fittings kit for the Revell Type VII by Dave. Bob has none available and was hoping someone may have one and is willing to part with it.

Sorry, no longer in production. Should have bought one when the buying was good.

I am at the point of ballasting the Type VII. The Cabal report indicated that you used 6oz in bottom of the hull as far forward and then 4 more ounces as far forward in the bottom of the hull. Am I correct in that you used a total of 10oz of ballast to get the boat to the waterline. It is not clear. I do not have the cast lead pieces from Caswell so I will be using lead shot to make up the weights. Could you let me know if the 10oz total is correct and exactly where the ballast should go.
Thanks,

Alas, all good things must pass. I’m in the process of building a new Revell Type VII to replace one that was totaled in a moving accident. Professional movers, I don’t think they are as good as they were thirty years ago. I salvaged the WTC but not the hull or fittings. It had a set of Dave’s fittings. They really saved a bunch of work.

I scratch built all the pieces to put this together. It was quit an exercise. Dave did a great job on designing the parts for a sub this small. I have a thread on RCG under submarines that just show the problems of getting the rudders and dive planes installed. I will probably post the installation of the snorkel valve in that thread.There is a fine line between hobbies and mental illness!Comment
