USS Bluefish submarine 838mm

USS Bluefish (SS 222) was Gato class submarine, which entered into maids námořnictu in the US in mid 1943. The nine combat cruises operating in areas ranging from the Dutch East Indies to the Japanese island of Honshu transport ship sank about 50,839 GRT, destroyer Sanae and smaller fighter submarines. Fat of the catch but it was great oceanic submarine supply / I-351 tanker (along the lines of the German "cows" to supplies of submarines and flying boats on the high seas). On the night of August 15, 1945 in the South China Sea under the command Bluefish fregattenkapitan Forbes caught on radar I-351 floating on the surface. After an hour of careful maneuvering prosecution and the Bluefish got into a perfect shooting position; of volleys fired four torpedoes, two full hit, I-351 exploded and sank with almost the entire crew and 42 pilots shipped from Singapore to Japan. After the war, the USS Bluefish demobilized, then have returned to service during the Korean War; finally scrapped and scrapped was in 1958.

Designers submarines in Rozsyp to drive the two electric motors 380 series for advanced builders. The model is designed for dynamic dive - ie. The vessel is imported ballast so that it protrudes above the surface of the water with only the upper torso with a tower - like a real submarine. Unlike a real submarine model has the flooding of ballast tanks during the filling should be dipped (or re-emerged after emptying). Immersion is achieved when moving forward or backward through setting hydroplanes. The advantage is that in case of any failure of the propulsion system, the model will automatically emerge, the disadvantage is that the submarine can remain submerged only if it is in motion.

Thanks to most parts is almost ready building not particularly demanding on the skill and workshop equipment - but, of course, careful, patient and above all faultless work in submarine construction necessary to achieve a good result. For bonding you need a medium glue, epoxy resin and adhesive for plastic models. The actual construction proceeds according třípohledového drawing at actual size captures the outward appearance of a submarine and another depicting the internal arrangement. The individual construction steps are carried out according to the perspective drawing showing in detail the structure of the ship, selected key steps and making accessories easier preprinted templates in 1: 1st For the final finish color will be due to the small size of the submarine altogether comply with acrylic paint on the plastic kits.

The hull is made up of a two-part thick-walled vacuum molding of plastics (compact polystyrene) with internal reinforcements of the same material. access to the pressure waterproof fuselage allows detachable lid to which is fixed a tower of submarines vacuum molded plastic components.

Scale Accessories consist of a variety of parts from brass, cast in white metal and plastics. If you have enough flavor and perseverance, you can play on the thorough elaboration tower and periscope antennas ordnance etc. It's up to you how you put on your work depends ...

Propulsion motors are two 380 series of 4.8 V supplied from šestičlánkového NiMH or NiCd battery (suitable example. Šestičlánek for RC cars 1:10). Boat shaft with cardan joints and bushings are included in the kit. For long voyages when using a large capacity battery is recommended to supplement water cooling engines.

To control the ship suffice any four-channel RC set at least 40 MHz (radio waves at a frequency of 2.4 GHz penetrate water), two-way electronic speed regulator 30A at least one standard servo for rudder and another for hydroplanes.

Kit includes: vacuum moldings torso, internal bulkheads and towers, předseknutá plastic rudder and hatch hull, plastic rod, cast metal parts and other Scale accessories, 2x ship's shaft sleeve, 2x orchid propeller 25 mm set of stickers, drawing a boat in scale 1: 1 image building instruction. < / P>
