Hi Guy's
the front torpedo tubes are a pain in the butt. mine are not perfect. but after two days and alot of wasted wood I am happy with the end result. I still have filling and sanding to do. but the basic shape is there. looks close to the real deal. have a great weekend craig

hi kmot
thanks, I am very pleased with the build so far. I have had to adjust the patterens alittle do to the enlargeing process they were off. but plans are only a guide. I will paint this up in a camo pattern light grey over dark grey. and I am only going with two props. three is not in the budget. I am going to try and make it with working torpedos? time will tell. it will have a presence on the water. all the best craig

hi ron
the book is a cardmodel that I enlarged to 78 inches long. so the patterens are cardmodel patterens. just transfer these to plastic sheet or wood cut and build. it is so easy to do. the hood did turn out very nice. looking forward to getting more done. craig I posted some pic's. this should show you what I am talking about.
