Italian midget submarine "Sassaroli" 1/25
The "Sassaroli" was a quick little mini-submarine that was to develop a speed of 28/30 knots and would reach a maximum depth of 30 metres.
The submarine was constructed of aircraft grade plywood in 4 layers.No rivets were used in the construction ,the layers being glued with a special adhesive that went by the name of "Kaurit". The outer keel was cast iron and was devided into three areas. The engine was an ALFA ROMEO petrol 200HP 1001-B with mixing of oxygen on the intake manifold during operation and closed loop heat exchanger for cooling the exhaust gases that were expelled to the sea by means of a mechanical pump. Autonomy: 10 hours Armament: 450 mm torpedo Length: 8 meters Width: 1.30 m Crew: one man The model is 32 cm long. The three-dimensional model has been modified during the preparation of the sheets of the paper pattern. I'll start the assembling this week matt77

The construction began
I celebrated the coming of a new printer by printing out on card stock of 160g / m the boards the submersible.
The construction of the ribs did not present difficulties, I used cardboard (thickness one millimeter) sent to me from Poland. The flash of the camera heightens the contrast and does not perform well in the colors of printing. Tomorrow you will have better photos and the construction most advanced Regards, matt77

This is the cowling of the engine compartment.
I realized too late that i have mounted the protective grille upside down. The mediocre result of the bonding may (I hope) be corrected with the finish Shame!... matt77
