R & R engineering new website

[Guest]

Ron Perrott is re-entering the market with a newly engineered range of dive modules/WTC's based on piston tanks and water pump systems.

A website has been created, which is a being added to gradually, but quite a bit of content to view so far.

Most excellent!!! It is a very good thing to see another quality vendor. I can attest to the quality of Ron's work. It is absolutely first rate, and Ron is just great fun to be around.

Welcome back, Ron!

Looks good. I'm interested in the torpedoes that look to scale for the typhoon.

I added their site to the SC vendor list.

What scale are their torpedoes?

Assuming that the Typhoon on the R&R web site is from an Engel kit, then those would be 1/100th scale....

They said it was an Engel boat. That WTC setup isn't like any Engel setup I've seen though. Sub Driver makes 1/72 torpedoes, but for 1/100 and 1/96 boats, 1/72 torpedoes are slightly smaller then a scale ICBM.

The Typhoon is an early Engel Typhoon hull, which had the sharper bow and lacked the anechoic tile detail.

Ron refitted it with a pair of his modules for a friend. It runs very well, with a much swifter dive time than the Engel boat owing to the ballast volume being divided over four piston tanks.

AFAIK, Ron makes the torpedoes in one size only. Not sure whether they're exact scale for 1/96-1/100th scale, Ron is best placed to answer that.

That makes sense. I wasn't saying that was a bad WTC setup. I actually like it, but I'm committed to Engels setup because I already paid for it.

Bit late to reply, and for that I apologise...if you ask Ron nicely, he will make you a set of torpedoes to more or less what ever size you want.The ones in my Akula were custom designed and built to fit in a very confined space, but they work just as well as any others.
