     Nice work, Stuart.  Those of us who sailed the Cusk are quite proud of her history and the trail she blazed for submarine warfare including all ballistic and cruise missile weapons systems. 

     Thank you for your work and for helping to preserve the history and accomplishments of this great boat.  She was a pleasure to sail, she never let us down, and in her 24 years of service, she never failed to complete a mission assignment.  If anyone is interested in learning more about the Cusk, please visit her website at http://www.usscusk.com

 

Best,

Damn, I have the Gato kit and was thinking of doing this – well done, hope it went well.

 

Where did you get the hanger / ramp plan or dimensions and the ariel layout?
