Revell 1/72 VIIc U-boat Static to surface runner build

Hi all, made a start on my Uboat today. I won't bore you with the kit details as they are well documented on this and other sites.
I intend to use as much of the original kit as possible and only add parts i can make myself or rob from fubar'd kits.
.Anyway down to business.
.First step- Figure out how she will be powered.
.I had 2xrs 380 motors left over from a Bandai 1/15 Tiger build ages ago that werent powerfull enough for the tank, i am thinking they will be more than adequate to power propellers!
.I started by making a copy of the rear bulkhead? out of plasticard and fitting the motors. Then test fitting the bulkhead, I am hoping that the motor shafts will not be too out of line with the propshaft exit holes, they dont look that far out.
