I just completed the Skipjack model that I started long time ago, and I worked at It discontinuously.
Here some picture I took during the process.

When I arrived at to put the bow in place, I found that It was too much stubby, so I looked for more documentation because I'd like to make my own more resembling. :?

Then using Excel and Word I did two versions of the bow: one elliptic and one parabolic.

Finally I selected the parabolic one, and the result is good for me.

If someone likes to receive the pdf of the parabolic or elliptic, PM to me the email address. Sorry for the roughness, but I didn't think to publish them.
Here some more pictures of the process that took me to complete the model.

And finally the model completed again with the parabolic bow mounted and the elliptical (prototype and colored version) and in the background the original one.

The model is very well designed and the result is beautiful. I wanted to improve the look of the bow, but I think is good also with the original one.
I recommend You this model! :thumb:
...and specially because it's small....![Roll Eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
In the meanwhile I didn't leave my Crawler: shortly some news. ;-)
Enjoy
