Just as I promised, I installed the motor & rubber. The photo looks like the alignment is off, but I don't think it will matter. Tomorrow, there will be a leak test in the bathtub before my wife catches me putting water in the tub. I added two photos of the type of shaft & Prop. I upgraded the motor but used coupling stuffing box & propeller 🤣🤣

I’m glad you are NOT putting in a brushless motor, because when I bring my model along side yours, we can go out on patrol together without me chasing your wake. 🤣
We will look good providing support the bigger vessels of the fleet!

Today was another part constructed. The motor mount is built, the propeller shaft and the propeller is installed need to wait till the glue sets and then I'll glue the motor in place.

To answer Boatshed’s question, this is the 1/35th scale version of the Vosper, by Italeri.
One thing that our friend was having a problem with was the motor as seen in his photos, was above the deck. Garth then, repositioned the motor further aft which lowered it below the deck. It is a fun build but not without its challenges to make these kits into a RC conversion model. Garth and I talked on the phone this past week, along with viewing photos of various elements, he was able to see my conversion. It will be interesting to watch how he goes forward on his model.

I think it would be a good idea to install a universal joint between the motor and shaft to allow for any minor misalignment? Cheers Ian

I looked at my placement and where you are placing your motor. My motor is below the gun turret.
You appear to be about 3 1/2” further aft than mine.
