lmagna Posted June 17, 2018 Share #37 Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) I agree Back in the day my favorite nuke sub was the Skipjack, and the only kit available was the old Aurora kit that left much to be desired as far as detail goes. That was no excuse I suppose, as I also have plans for the Skipjack that showed details that were not on the kit but could have been etched in. At any rate, my Skipjack ended up as a black teardrop with fins. The prop was really the only break in color! You might also see if you can find pictures of the deck and see if like US subs these subs have the "Target" ring painted around the rescue hatches. Only a little bit of color but everything helps. Also it looks like the Radar mast is painted white in all the pictures where it is raised.

lmagna Posted June 17, 2018 Share #41 Posted June 17, 2018 2 hours ago, Old Collingwood said: cant imagine it being rust, No reason why not OC. The tiles are most likely glued directly to the bare metal and if they get knocked off like in this picture the exposed area would rust pretty fast. There are also some signs of rust showing along the seams of some other panels further back. Possibly that is the reason the panels fall off. Water seeps behind the panels and lifts them off. I suspect that there is considerable flex in the hull between deep dives and the surface and the tiles expand and contract at a different rate than the hull. Some other areas of note is that the circle marker for the escape hatch is green rather than red or yellow, and that the bollard the guy in sitting on is yellow on top rather than black. I am assuming that this bollard retracts flush with the deck when not needed as a seat. Another item of note is the cleats. It appears that they are fixed and do not retract or become flush with the deck in some manner. mtaylor, popeye the sailor, Canute and 3 others 6 Quote Lou Build logs: Colonial sloop Providence 1/48th scale kit bashed from AL Independence Currant builds: Constructo Brigantine Sentinel (Union) (On hold) Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (For the Admiral) 1/350 Heavy Cruiser USS Houston (Resin) Currant research/scratchbuild: Schooner USS Lanikai/Hermes Non ship build log: 1/35th UH-1H Huey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmagna Posted June 18, 2018 Share #42 Posted June 18, 2018 I take that back about the hull expanding and contracting on deep dives. The area in question is not part of the pressure hull, but a casing installed over the true hull to provide a walking/working area and is therefore not exposed to pressure changes with depth. The true pressure hull starts just below the freeing ports at the water line and appears to be black rather than the charcoal color of the upper hull. cog, Old Collingwood, mtaylor and 3 others 6 Quote Lou Build logs: Colonial sloop Providence 1/48th scale kit bashed from AL Independence Currant builds: Constructo Brigantine Sentinel (Union) (On hold) Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (For the Admiral) 1/350 Heavy Cruiser USS Houston (Resin) Currant research/scratchbuild: Schooner USS Lanikai/Hermes Non ship build log: 1/35th UH-1H Huey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Collingwood Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share #46 Posted June 18, 2018 Change of plan for my next stage as I am not happy with the finish so far - I decided I will join the bottom and close the hull, and possibly construct the sail and fit it, then I will be able to work on the join seam and sand as needed, then I will mask to where the generic waterline would be be and give below it a few fresh coats of paint by hand as I dont have a sprayer. The sail will give me something to hold onto while hand painting and the masking will help with even brush strokes, then I will polish with soapy water and a sponge as before to smooth out any brush marks (well thats the idea) OC.

Old Collingwood Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share #58 Posted June 18, 2018 Right I decided to attack the sub (no pun intended) by closing up the hull, this was quite a tidy job but needs a bit of filling near the bow, any way I also put the two halves of the sail together, then glued this to the hull, when set I lightly sanded the hull to create a key, but also masked off the top section, then I started to apply the first few brush coats of dark navy grey. It will need quite a few coats (all thin coats) to build up a smooth finish. Here are a few pics.
