    Now this drawing looks more like what I see.
    The planes are more forward on the sail sides and there is a middle of the road front plane angle with a straight rear edge.

    Nice drawing sub culture.

      So, thinking that a "newer sub" might have different sail plane shapes does not look likely.

      I have found both drawing that you have as a reference.
      Not sure of the source for the top image, though it comes up at various sites as a building drawing.

      The bottom image is from a 1/350 scale model plan.
      Ralph,
      I appreciate your help on this. The bottom image I am using are plans from the Walrus and not off a model. The Walrus had some updates (which would make them newer and entirely probable I am using the wrong terms). The sail got the exhaust diffuser (see sail between x tail and masts on your model image). That exhaust might be added to my version of the Walrus.

      Jim,
      Yes! I have made that mistake before using photo to see placement. I am trusting more and more on the plans that I have. I was hoping to verify the sweep of the leading edge, however, I will move forward.

      Thank you all for your help!
      Peace,
      Tom
      If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.
