Hello everyone !

First of all, I will notice you that you can follow my building thread from the start here on TK-17's Captain log :HereAnd here for recent input : http://www.scalesub.com/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=37

I'm apologize about my bad english, Still a froggies after all, and I will try to keep you inform about my TK-17's project in futur, here and on Scalesub forum with english subtitle when it need the most.

When I started this project, wooow 2007, I wish to achieved the most accurate models from Engels Kit inspire by Ramesh work on TK-20. This was a long road to gather informations, pictures materials, and a lot of headache to proceed proper modifications without compromise integrity of the hull. I wish to thank Wayne of course, Ramesh and some friends to support me during this years !

Actually, I almost finish the hard part of this achievment. I still need to add a lot of details like tiny grid, doors on the hull and finishing to get a smooth surface for painting. Recently I've detected some leaks who need my attention, no big deal but time waste. I need also add some lead ballast to get proper waterline (upper waterline) and then she will put to see this summer if I have time to complete last structurals modifications. Final painting will be come later I think !

I also barely finish the new vectorised plan for TK-17. And then I will work on TK-208 after her recent 941UM refit (bulava modification etc...). Recently I have new information about TK-17 and I'm still perplexe about what I've learn. I'm waiting pictures to confirm, and will discuss about this later.

I have no plan yet for "batch two" TK-12, TK-13 and TK-202

Here is some pictures extract from captain's log :

I will do a "resumé" for you about differences and modifications ;)

1- Conning tower :

2- Castor Tail

This modification is 100% accurate for TK-208 and TK-20, I've dry photo of this part. Recently I've doubt for TK-17 :? so perhaps I do wrong when I modify this part... I'm waiting to find TK-17 on dry dock to confirm :

3- Port and starbord towed sonar array

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image


4- Rudders

6- Housing Tactical Communication buoys

7- Escape pod location and details

8- A lot of other details

Engel's modify and create "tech Carrier" for WTC after I've done modification on bow plane servo, so a part of this work is no need now. I'm still have to do some details and etching on missile deck

Image
Image
Image

Safety rail on TK-17 are different that I've done but modify them should compromise hull integrity.

Image

So, basically all modification I've done on Engel's hull :)
