Hi Dougie,

Robbe`s U-47 was my first and last boat commissioned. Decommissioned many years ago.
She will be commissioned again in the future  with a major overhaul. My fiend has allready finished the 3-D printed bulkheads for the WTC.
I have allready most of the PE parts from Boris.

The old bulkheads (grey), i didn`t like.



The new bulkheads (blue), pics taken by my friend.







The old bulkheads (grey), removed.


Yes, the Skipjack class, USS Shark (SSN-591) wil be an RC boat, Something like this.....Still on the designers table.
The drawing is NOT made by me.


USS Shark.


I hope you like it.

My best regards,

Ron.

Last couple of weeks did not much work on the boat itself, but i bought some nice goodies.
Please have a look.

New periscope, i love it.


New brass proppelor.


Maintenance crew.



Barrels and food supplies.


Swasticas for the buildings.


Two Seehunds for the dio.

 
New NIMH battery pack for the transmitter.
8 cells, 9,6 Volts. 4300 mAh.


New NIMH charger for the transmitter, max 8 cells. 1000 - 8000 mAh.


I can now trickle charge these batteries 24/7 without destroying them, when not in use.

Charging,


Trickle charging.


And the Revell 1:72 Skipjack class. It`s my first non German submarine.


This workbench will be moved to another room in a couple of weeks/months.


Hope you like it.

Regards,

Ron.

    Way too small Falo!


By the way, the gun project goes on silently but steady. I made good progress with the lower arms and the safety harnessess. I hope to be able to post a photographic update soon (SG Werke is shut due to Covid these days, wish me luck ) 


Cheers,


SG

Hi Falo,
Thank you. I had heard about it but did not know a release date. It will make a good companion to the VIIC and VIIC/41 in 144th scale. Maybe they will bring out an early IXC at some point too.
The 144th Platinum Fletcher would make a great model, so too would that 1/8th scale E-Type Jaguar.

Cheers,
Dougie

A very good news! Thanks for the effort you make to keep the forum open.
