hi everyone, im new hear and have some pictures of my trumpeter bismarck that im converting to rc, but there too big to post apparently, it has fully functioning bb cannons for each turret, and all turrets rotate 260 degrees, also I have fpv cameras that rotate with the for and aft turrets, they are camouflage d as the for and aft range finders, also the decks all light up and the search lights work, and smoke will come from the stack when im done, once I resize the pics whenim less lazy, ill post em, I also have a IXC uboat 1/72 scale also that is a static diver, has gyro controled stern planes, auto balance counter weight along the keel lenght to keep her level as the ballest fills, and a forward and aft torpedo launcher that fires a rocket propelled explosive torpedo, hears a link to it on utube, also if you type in "rc uboat u839" theres a few more lack luster videos of a deep water pond dive searching for trout, and a night time dive where you cant really see much lol

hears a video of a functional test of bismarcks turrets

Is this your video of the Bismarck? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmyp8nEWhzE

Note you can link directly to the video (as opposed to a bunch of search results, which include models that are not yours), by going to the video's page and grabbing the URL from there.

thanks! yea i didnt really do it right, im not very good with computers :p im gonna post a few more videos as it gets closer to completion, just waiting for the pressure bottle for the guns now.

Figured out the resizing thing finally, hears my sub on her stand ready to explore the deep the weird looking deck gun is actually an underwater camera

couple more pics while she was under construction, one you can see the forward torpedo tube with the doors open, and the other pic is of the tubes before installation, with one containing an explosive torpedo for fitment, you can see the metal warhead slightly protruding from the tip

hear is a complete explosive torpedo ready to fire, plus the components that make them up in the background

hears a shot of the "pork tenderloin" shaped innards, the auto leveling balance weight can be seen mounted below ( or since the guts are upside down, above) the main ballast bag

winter lake mission,.....unfortunately the camera battery froze and shut off the camera just as i was diving her which sucks, I took her down deep a few times, and run her for a good 20 minutes, it only recorded 2min 30secs worth
