The fitting kit allows for an easy connection of the WTC with the plastic model. It’s especially designed for the Trumpeter Seawolf and most likely will not fit other models. The fitting kit also allows for a perfect alignment of the upper and lower hull.

Fitting Kit (conversion KIT) for “USS SSN-21 Seawolf Attack Submarine” (05904) consists of :

• New set of rudders and dive planes for a full RC conversion.
• Stern mechanics (All required parts for self  assembly)
• 7x ribs (4 for the lower hull and 3 for the upper hull) as the WTC mount, they also allow for good alignment of the upper and lower hull.
• WTC stern endstop
• External rib for the Seawolf bow planes pushrod with magnetic coupler (If you want to have operational dive planes)

Slightly bigger dive planes and rudders allow better model manoeuvrability!

Stern dive planes with a hinge like the real vessel!

Stern mechanics:

The ribs for the upper  hull:

The ribs for the lower hull with the WTC already slid in:

Still required to make the WTC operational:

• RC receiver and radio transmitter.
• 2 x micro servos (Corona CS-939MG recommended)

This is an unassembled KIT. It requires some basic knowledge and experience about RC models. It also requires some precision and patience, but allows to construct a fully operationial WTC, exactly like the one on the photos.
