    Thanks!

    It’s a big gun NTXBG boat; and the guys are telling me it’s compliant.

    HOWEVER I would be interested in making it cross compatible with IRCWCC. I’ll read the rules tomorrow and see if I can set it up both ways.

    Setup a garage session sometime on a Saturday in December and I'll see if I can drop by and show you a ship or two. First weekend or two would probably be best.

    TBH It didnt even dawn on me because that superstructure is ‘for’ the ADM Graf Spee.
    And then I was like “wait… the AGS is a Deutschland class…’

    It looks perfect on her, and now I can focus on getting the guts finished.

    Update -

    Added Pump housing. No idea IF or how well it'll work. I'm happy with the custom outlet cut into the deck.

    Looking at it, I think i'll at least need to attach a motor... ahahah..

    ...also added rudder control planes.

    Improvements to the pump...

    - It is now fully removable from the hull, so I can iterate on new designs if needed.
    - It has more screw holes to hold it down, although I'll probably just plastic-weld it.
    - Added lip to water tract, to make it more difficult for water to escape when under pressure.

    Just a tiny bit of space between the pump mouth and the bottom of the waterchannel.

    You need 2inch nonperm in the front and 1 inch nonperm in rear, this shows way to much nonperm

    On the pump?

    Or in the hull? The hull is using Big gun rules & the local club agreed it met regs. I might improve it for fast gun compliance, but been too lazy so far.

    What threads are you going with on the barrel? It looks a bit small?

    0.50" threads, same as Surcouf... it's just a bigger gun.
