She is indeed a little cutie, I look forward to blasting round the lake with my old JJC Proteus Gas Turbine sound unit upsetting the locals

Small problem..the forward superstructure is 1/8" off centre. I was aware of the issue with the old superstructure and thought I could fudge it. It has become very noticeable..to me anyway...since marrying the two parts together. The big problem, I built the superstructure tight on the current flange, so moving the whole thing sideways 1/8", while still retaining a tight fit, will be a bit of a job. So have been sidetracked onto a quickie project over the last couple of weeks................

There's no harm in that, it gives you time to relax and think about how to do it, or just to gird your loins for a possible horrid job of adjusting and repair. It's good that your club has workspace, that is a dream arrangement for me

Well, we are not quite working there yet. Still at the final stages of preparing the middle bit of the building ( workshop ), and getting to know our new neighbours. Still our first open day was a rip roaring success, so onward and upward!!

Hi unbuiltnautilus

I bought an unstarted Precedent Perkasa kit 49 and  1/2 inch kit today, so I will be checking on our post.
No drive line, rudder, anchor, railings but the vac torpedos are in the box with the booklet and side and top view plan.
I like you CAD work I use the same idea with Manilla folder.
Very handy for getting boat frames the same on both sides.

You cannot beat old school CAD! Good luck with the model. Keep it light and it may well run with a twin version of my single shaft set up.
I do prefer the bigger version of Perkasa, but practicality got the better of me ( for once!! ) and I opted for a club members 37" model for the project.
