Great minds think alike. The plan is to hook a rod up to the 4" gun that is connected to the rudder, so when the rudder turns the gun turns.

I saw it done many years ago on a model of the HMS Roberts monitor...the system had a recorded gunfire tape attached as well as a smoke machine and was very effective indeed...a real crowd pleaser/puller

I've also seen the models that have the Co2 powered BB cannons.
The kind that people use to wargame with. Now that would be awesome though hard to aim...and probably not allowed in public.

Honestly, the UK has some of the most awesome shops for model boat building and RC.

Yes. The shipping wasn't that bad either. I ordered my crew from white ensign models.

Starting the boat (not in the bunker) look at all those depth charges! My brass prop and custom built rudder. My British motor, geared 6:1.

Bump/ I'm back to working on this. I got all of the RC stuff wired and working. I'm having some minor issues with the smoke generator, but I'm back in business.
