![]() ![]() In the case of Revells VIIC, the difficulty raises cause of the small amount of space and the fact that VIIC has a two dual drive. Here you’ll find the propulsion system, shafts seals and the pushrod seals. It’s the equivalent of the engine room in the real vessels. The aft section of the model is always the most difficult and the most crucial element of the model. – green: main motor and rudder/diving planes servos. – blue: connector between the 50 and 60mm pipe. – green: space for the receiver and the high torque servo for the dive tank. You can divide the model into 4 sections: – red: (first from the left) battery compartment. ![]() ![]() I had to make my own, getting some of the parts from the cheaper one. It was way to much for my student pockets back then. Both systems were quite expensive : 300 i 530 Euro (price tags from the year 2007). The aft “mechanical” section was based on Norberts Brugen kit. I got the idea of the diving system from the run by Ota Gerza, however Ota uses (used as it’s not in production any more) the CO2 canisters in his WTCs, while I wanted something safer – with lower pressure – like the liquid gas used in the early Davids Meriman WTC kits. I did try to consolidate the best features from both as none seemed perfect for me. On the internet I found some information/plans and attempts to develop an RC version of the model and I based my built on two particular projects. However, if we treat it as a hull for the RC model with a static diving system, the situation changes drastically. And it is, but only if we look at it in the terms of plastic models. Partially based on Norberts Bruggen WTC Kit, however with my own liquid gas ballast system.Įveryone who looks at the Revell’s VIIC 1:72 box immediately thinks that the model is huge. RC conversion of the 1:72 U-boot VIIC made by Revell. Type: static diver, liquid gas ballast system. ![]()
