F/glass hull availability...

[u-33]

Anyone know if there's a replacement fibreglass hull available for the 1/144th Trumpeter Seawolf? Or something very similar?

I'd like to replace the plastic one on the Dragonfish with something less flexible than the original kit version.

No. But you can stiffen the hull you have using various methods.

You can solvent weld in extra ribs, or even a spine running lengthways from some plasticard. A box section would make things very rigid- think of a sill structure on a monocoque car bodyshell.

Or you could key up the surface and glass it inside.
