Looking to scratch one of my Alanger DELTAs into DELTA STRETCH I. I have pictures, drawings, etc for everything I need to attack except for references that give me a clear understanding of the profile and shape of the bow. Anyone have something that can help (Polar Bear kit or OKB Grigorov D3 kit for pictures maybe)?
Thanks,
Dave
I found this body plan for one of the Project 667 submarines, probably a Yankee, a while back on some Russian forums. Since all the Yankees and Deltas (except for the Delta IV) have nearly identical hull forms, this should work for the Delta III/Delta Stretch.
https://i.imgur.com/hKPhQjz.jpgThe drawing shows the lines at several stations along the hull that are (probably) equally-spaced. The right half of the drawing shows the forward part of the hull, and the left half shows the aft part of the hull. The forwardmost line is at station 2Н (the Н standing for Нос, Bow) and then moving aft are stations 1Н and 0. Presumably 2Н is one station spacing aft of the extreme bow. The hull widens until station 5, which is the start of the parallel midbody. The parallel midbody continues until station 13, and the hull narrows until station 20. Like the bow, there are some stern stations, 1К through 4К (the К standing for Кормовой, Stern). The extreme stern in this drawing is likely the end of the hull and not the stern tubes or propeller bosses. On other drawings, I measure this as being 126.18 meters from the bow. So if we assume that there are 28 stations equally-spaced stations along that length, that equates to 4.506 meters per station. It's only 6 mm from being exactly 4.50 meters, so I'd bet that's the spacing that was used.
So in summary the stations (from stem to stern) are:
(extreme bow) 2Н 1Н 0-5 10-13 14-20 1К 2К 3К 4К (extreme stern)
Another thing to note: the pressure hull is also depicted as thicker lines often with the suffix ПК for (Прочный Корпус, Pressure Hull). So just make sure you're using the lighter outer hull lines.
