Torpedo boat. Tips for a modeller

Modeling

The model is easy to manufacture and has good driving characteristics.

Construction begins with the body. He is set. Frames are cut out of 3-4 mm plywood. Having drawn them in full size, with the help of tracing paper and carbon paper, they transfer the contours to plywood, cut them out with a jigsaw and process them with a file and sandpaper. The keel frame is made in the same way. Before assembling the set, the joints are coated two or three times with nitro-glue. This work is best done on a flat board - a slipway.

Once again, the frames covered with glue are inserted into the keel frame and fastened with stringers or wound with thread.

A dugout wooden boss is installed in the bow. Outside, it is processed with files and sandpaper, giving the body profile.

For sheathing, thin plywood or cardboard is used. The sheathing parts with glue are applied to the set and fastened with small nails (when the body dries out, the nails can be drowned or pulled out, in the latter case, the holes are sealed with wooden studs on the glue). The finished case is treated with sandpaper and coated with nitro-glue three or four times. Then, with a thick nitro putty, the joints and irregularities are sealed. Before painting, the body is covered several times with the same putty, diluted with acetone or a solvent. After two or three days, when the putty dries out, the body is cleaned with fine sandpaper and a celluloid or thick thread waterline is glued. The underwater part is painted red or green, the surface part is gray, the deck is brown.

Torpedo boat model (click to enlarge)

Model of a torpedo boat: 1 - guis rod (wire), 2 - storm lifeline (wire), 3 - ventilation bell (wood), 4 - hatch (wood, plexiglass), 5 - bollards (nails), 6 - life inflatable raft (wood, plexiglass), 7 - spire (wood, plexiglass), 8 - fender of the first shots (wood), 9 - anti-aircraft gun (wood, tin), 10 - torpedo tube (thick paper tube), 11 - wheelhouse ( cardboard, plexiglass), 12 - pin radio antenna (wire), 13 - signal spotlight (wood, plexiglass), 14 - distinctive light (tin, plexiglass), 15 - signal mast (tube, wire), 16 - top light (plexiglass) , 17 - klotik fire (plexiglass), 18 - hafel (wire), 19 - halyard (thread), 20 - radar antenna (tube, wood), 21 - engine room vestibule (tin, wood), 22 - depth bomb (wood ), 23 - smoke screen apparatus (wood), 24 - flagpole (wire), 25 - navbar light (plexiglass), 26 - propeller (brass), 27 - stern tube (tube, brass), 28 - electric motor, 29 - rudder blade (tin), 30 - stern hatch (wood, plexiglass), 31 - logging ladder (wire, tinplate), 32 - grating decking (wood, plexiglass), 33 - semi-cluster, 34 - dead anchor (brass, plexiglass or tree).

If oil paints are used for painting, then it is not necessary to prime the model with nitro glue: it is enough to impregnate the skin and deck with drying oil or oil pack. Use ordinary putty, under oil paint (mix sifted chalk or tooth powder on drying oil and add a little wood glue to this mass).

Unlike nitro paints, oil paints dry for 10-12 hours, therefore, work on the model should not be continued before this period. Two electric motors with deadwoods and batteries are installed in the body.

A hatch is cut out in the deck to change the batteries.

After the hull is completely ready, you can begin to manufacture superstructures and parts of the boat.

Make the conning tower out of wood, plywood or thick cardboard. They putty and paint it in the same way as the body.

Glue torpedo tubes and depth charges from thick paper. An anti-aircraft gun can be soldered from tin or glued from cardboard. Mast made of wood, tin and wire. Tin wheel.

The finished model must be tested on the water. First of all, it is necessary to ensure that it stands on the water without a list and without a trim (tilt towards the bow or stern). This is achieved by placing the ballast in the hull. In addition, the boat must have a draft at the waterline.

When the model is adjusted, you can start launching.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Pregnant women should talk less on cell phones 31.03.2012

The impact of mobile phone radiation on humans has been studied for a long time, and so far no clear arguments have been made either in favor of their safety or in favor of a potential threat to health. A new study from Yale Medical School suggests that the danger still exists, and that pregnant women should generally isolate themselves from the outside world if possible.

According to the results of the study, the exposure of a woman to a mobile phone during pregnancy can affect the development of the brain in the fetus and lead to the so-called attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in the child. However, scientists immediately stipulate that there are no reasons for panic yet, the objects of the study were not people, but mice.

As part of the experiment, scientists placed a mobile phone with the sound off on the surface of a cage with pregnant mice, the device was active during the entire pregnancy of females. After the cubs were born and raised, the researchers measured the electrical activity of their brains, as well as conducted a series of psychological and behavioral tests. They found that mice exposed to RF radiation tended to be hyperactive and had reduced memory capacity. The head of the research team, Professor Hugh S Taylor, is confident that mobile phone radiation has influenced the development of neurons in the lobes of the prefrontal cortex of the brain.

ADHD, according to many scientists, has its roots in this part of the brain. So despite the fact that rodent pregnancies last only 19 days, and the cubs are born with brains less developed than human babies, Professor Taylor is confident that pregnant women need to limit cell phone use.
