Hi,

that�s a picture of my first attempt based on a commercial hull � it is not to scale . The "valid" pictures are of my second scratch built hull posted in the later half of my build log!

Talk to you soon,

Bernd.

I sent two pm already but I see them staying in outbox. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

Kindly let me know if you received already.

Best regards

PMs are in the Outbox until they are read by the recipient, so just leave them be.

Did some fine tuning on the sonar and a test for the degaussing cable ...

[109]

On to the passiv low frequency sonar GHG ... first dry fitting of the drill template.

[109]

I also finally finished the center shaft housing - an area that is always wrong* on "scale" models.


* my personal opinion, not necessarily the only valid opinion

[109]

The crystal (Kaliumnatriumtartrat-Tetrahydrate) microphones and their bezels made from stainless steel ....

Hi 109,

I noticed that while preparing the sonar recess on the bow bulb, you engraved one waterline ang some welding seams around the sonar recess. Do you intend to make welding seams all over the hull?

Drilled the port side GHG and glued the bezels in ....

Magnificent job. What is the dia of those bezels in 1/100? Did you make yourself in a lathe?

[109]

Hi,

made them at a friend�s lathe. This year I want to buy a lathe and a milling machine for my own workshop ...

Diameters are 1 mm for the microphones and 2 mm for the bezels.

Bye,

Bernd.

Finished both sides ...

Hi,

hmmm... that layout looks very artificial to me - at best!
I have not seen a single plan with such a layout of the GHG ...

Hi, Bernd,
The picture looks both nice and strange.
Where did you get it (if it isn't a top secret, of course)?
