Default Russian Akula Class Project

I am building a 1/96 scale akula class submarine. I am currently working on making the foam plug and then go on to fiberglassing. I am starting to consider how to make my own WTC. If anyone could explain to me how to make a good WTC i would really appreciate it.

I'm curious, what plans did you use ?
I'm guessing it's about 45 inches long.

Here is a place to get the blue prints

http://www.deepseadesigns.net/typhoonclass.html

That class looks good, but Im not to fond of the others, too bulby, but to each their own.

Happy boating

http://www.rc-sub.com/typhoon.html <- you could e-mail about where to get a kit

http://northseasfleet.co.uk/submarines.htm <- Russian sub kits

Other then that, Revil has a 1/350 kit non RC. and too small IMHO to make RC, but rumor has it that it is not accurate to either the Red October (typhoon class modified for the movie, or the real thing)

Yes they do.

I saw the system in the Typhoon this weekend.

its just a speed 400 and a jackscrew with limit switches in each end.

They look so cool operating......real slow and smoothe

A great scale detail.
