A lovely looking sub so far!
I've always thought the Akula class were a very menacing looking ship.
It is quite an educational experience for me seeing how everything fits and is sealed.
I too will be keen to see how it behaves without bow planes. Is this common practice or unique to this build?
One thing I am wondering about is why you have used three UJs in the prop shaft? As I understand things the centre UJ is not actually doing anything except acting as a spacer.
Is there not a danger of the centre UJ flailing around and hitting the control rods?
