This is a 1/72 scale Los Angeles-Class submarine, USS KEY WEST (SSN-722), purchased from the Nautilus Drydocks, designed and printed by rcsubs.cz. It consists of a PVC pipe as the main body, with 3D printed bow, stern, and sail sections that are provided in the kit. The electronics are contained in a dry Watertight compartment, called a Sub-Driver, also purchased from the Nautilus Drydocks.
These pond trials, conducted on 02 MAY 2021, consisted of verifying trim after some internal work, as well as verifying that some o-ring seal work was satisfactory. The boat performed very well for it's first time in a pond setting. The pool I normally operate at is too small for the turning radius of this boat, so operating in the pond was a very nice change of pace. You'll also notice that I've added a very thick scum line to represent very heavy sea growth that occurs on these boats, especially in warm tropical waters. I wanted to capture the sense that this boat had been operating extensively for a very long time. I also used some white chalk pastel powder to create wear and rainwater run-offs on the topside and sail of the submarine.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the boat's performance. As a sample of things to come, I added a photo at the end of what it could look like when I attach the GoPro to the submarine. I'll need to do some more trimming to accommodate the weight of the GoPro, but hopefully later this year I'll get it working out well!
