Old Collingwood Posted July 14, 2018 Author #211 Posted July 14, 2018 Here are a couple of pics showing the conning tower top fitted with slightly thinned down parts - periscope etc, the photos are not too great as they where indoors with just kitchen lights and no flash, both were a bit grainy due to high ISO and the close up was a very low shutter speed so a bit of shake.

lmagna Posted July 14, 2018 #212 Posted July 14, 2018 Just to show you how dumb I am, I have been looking and wondering about the square hole in the hull under the sail was for this entire build. It suddenly came to me in a flash! The bow on this sub is almost all sonar! The torpedo room is amidships and the hole is a door for the tubes. Hopefully Kevin or someone more knowledgeable will straighten me out if I am wrong. popeye the sailor, Old Collingwood, Jack12477 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

Hopefully Kevin or someone more knowledgeable will straighten me out if I am wrong. Im not sure what those two off square protrusions are under the sail/conning tower, but the torpedo tubes are situated towards the bottom on the bow, two on the low starboard - two low port side and one mid center, they can launch all sorts of devices from these tubes inlculding missiles.

I think the railings on her will be a step too far and I might ruin her by trying, but I will finish her off with a wood plinth and a pedestal or two, and a couple of coats of flat spray when I get round to buying it.
