Re: 1/72 Victoria Class Submarine
Hi Graham,
She's 975mm long by 100mm wide.
By far the smallest 1/72 sub I've worked on. It will be an interesting build alongside the 1/72 Kilo - both hulls are scheduled to arrive next couple of weeks.
I'll be using a new design of ballast control called SAS (Semi -Aspirating- System), joule for joule - this system uses the least energy to dive and surface over any system I have employed previously.
Free flooding tank to dive. Surfacing from snorkel depth is via outside air pumped in. Surfacing at depth temporarily uses a small amount of air from with the battery compartment. This takes the sub to snorkel depth and the outside air then finishes the job of clearing the ballast tank and replenishing the air from the battery compartment. It means no GAS required / no water pumps working overtime.
Also I'll be using a 2.5" diameter cylinder for the Water tight cylinder to avoid any buoyancy naturally occurring with in it from extending above the surfaced waterline. This means I should be able to cut down her ballast weight considerably, which is going to be necessary given Victoria's tiny lower rudder area and expected poor rate of maneuverability

Re: 1/72 Victoria Class Submarine
Any progress on the Upholder John? More pictures of the superb hull would be appreciated.
