Only a very limited amount of time is available for editing contributions into a suitable format for placing on the website so it is important that the material is well presented, lucid and free from obvious spelling errors. In order to maintain a consistent standard and format, all suggestions should first be sent to me by Personal Message for approval in principle.
We welcome well written contributions from Website members on almost any aspect of Model Boating with a particular emphasis on practical hints, tips, experience and builds.
1 72 GATO SUBMARINE FULL
Tony Dalton has also in the last week or so sent in another article for a 1:700 scale Trumpeter USS Hornet, powered by 4 micro motors and with full radio control. This was because the Targa article ran to three issues instead of the originally planned two. The HMS Trafalgar article by Tony Dalton is definitely in the December issue of MB and not November as intended.
I would definitely be interested in the conversion article if you can pass it on please. If you are interested I can email them to you.
1 72 GATO SUBMARINE PDF
I have a pdf of a review of Eduard 'Big Ed' Gato detail set and a set of jpegs for a full RC conversion article. Just thought there could be a few ideas in this item for anyone considering a project such as this. In next months Model Boats magazine (November 2014) there is a Plastic Magic radio control feature on converting an Airfix HMS Trafalgar submarine into a surface running model. Rear `planes stay fixed horizontally for a simple dynamic diver.ĭont forget that it will only go under a short distance so the seals do not have to take much pressure.unlike a "proper" submarine being played with in a swimming pool! On mine, the key is to get the ballast so the boat is barely floating, and then a very slow forward speed is all thats necesary to put pressure on the dive planes and get it to dive. Do your build, but just bare this in mind as you go along. I would see how you go along.as I said, you will have to do a fair amount of waterproofing in any event, and when you get around to these specifics, it may be seen to be possible. That definitely looks the business, but too much work for me!
1 72 GATO SUBMARINE PLUS
Plus my eyesight/fingers don't seem to want to work together. I chose very large models (even though in a small flat) because if I made smaller ones, I would complete too quickly, and have to have them scattered all over the flat. Sometimes it's just too much effort for an hours modelling, hence the time it took to complete my Schnellboote. Get my model/gear out of the cupboard, and return it all when I finish. To carry out any modelling, I have to move the furniture and sheet over the living room floor. I live in a very small one bedroomed flat with my disabled wife. (5) HIWMBO would have something to say, if I spent any more than I already have. (3) No suitable pond in the area for going down under. (1) The cost of the waterproof capsules/fittings. Hi Ashley I know where you're coming from, however there are several obstacles to that. Mine is not a fantastic diver, but does do what a submarine is supposed to.
It will rankle when every time someone sees it they will ask "doesitgounder?" and you will have to reply "no" and then it will be less of a submarine.mark my words!! Gregg, I have not seen what is involved with a surface running conversion of this boat but I would assume there is a fair amount of waterproofing to do, and by the time you have sorted this out, it may be possible to investigate the model being a dynamic diver. I'm going to convert to R/C motorised, but only as a surface runner. Managed to get a cheap Revell Gato Submarine kit, on a well known auction site recently. Coming to the end of my Schnellboote project, now looking on to next build.
