      Very nice!
      If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

        The work on the ordered model "Akula II" is completed and I again returned to my ave. "U-151". I drilled holes in the casing for air outlet during immersion, made and installed brackets in the central part of the casing, installed front depth rudders and 4 cross bollards for fastening the lifting masts.

          Firma555 I looked at some drawing from a web search for U-151 and saw that it showed forward torpedo's. Do you have any plans about the torpedo's in the U-151?

            Yes, of course, this boat has 2 bow torpedo tubes. They are not ready yet, but I will definitely install them.

              The tubes look interesting the way they protrude out of the bow looking at the drawing you attached.
              Do they have a cover over them?

                      This is a very rare book. But probably for me it carries little information.
                      Firstly, I do not speak English and I can not accurately understand all the nuances of this book.
                      Secondly, this book describes the boat "Deutschlahd", which had no weapons and was originally built as commercial. I am building a boat that has been refitted and commercial.
