I love the open aircraft canopies and the figures really give it some life and scale. That is an amazing kit and you have done it proud.

Now that's very interesting!!! I am currently struggling with the couplings on my U-boat. The ones I got with the motors were horribly big and out of balance so I made up some brass bushes and linked them with electrical flex sheathing. The trouble is it keeps slipping!

What is the flexible material you have used for your couplings? Your shafts even look to be of a similar size, mine are 2mm, so if I can get hold of something similar I will be in with a chance. My next experiment was going to be heat shrink.

The props, shafts, and shaft sheaths came from prop shop.

The couplings are by Robbe but ill have to check what exactly they're called and get the part number.

Great job!! I joined the group just so I could see these pictures. I plan to do the same thing and I have a couple of questions. How are you attaching the decks to the ship so you can remove them? Is this a stock build or did you use aftermarket parts? I am having a hard time fiding out what the ship looks like stock.

Thank you!!

Very keen job !

And as I made a certain number of plastics kit convertion to RC I know how difficult it can be. I just cant wait to see it on the pond. Best of luck, and please keep sending photos.
