Good day!
Today we will show you an overview of the D-3 boat model from the company " paper modeling" №53
A bit of history:
Torpedo boats of the D-3 type (project P-19-OK) are a type of torpedo boats that were in service with the Soviet Navy during the Great Patriotic War.
Construction:
The boats were built at factories in Leningrad and Sosnovka (Kirov region). As part of Northern Fleet before the war, only two boats were built, but in August 1941, the Leningrad workers managed to build and put into use another 5 units. These seven boats were consolidated into a separate detachment, which operated until 1943. In 1943 mass production boats resumed.
Service:
The survivability of the boats was quite high. During the landing operation in Liinakhamari, which involved two groups of boats of the Northern Fleet under the command of Lieutenant Commander A. O. Shabalin and Captain 2nd Rank S. G. Korshunovich, the boats came under heavy artillery fire from the German and Finnish sides. At the same time, the TK-114 boat received damage to the rudder thrust, however, with the help of motors alone, the crew brought the ship out of the shelling. As it turned out, 200 holes were counted in the hull. However, the TK-209 boat under the command of senior lieutenant A.I. Kisov showed the greatest survivability: in May 1944, German aircraft attacked it near the Kiysky Islands. From machine guns, cannons and bombs, 320 holes formed in the hull, but the crew not only saved the boat from death, but also managed to shoot down one of the aircraft.
Lead boat. 08/06/1940 included in the Black Sea Fleet. On 06/13/1942, he sank the Italian submarine "SV-5" and on 01/08/1942, together with the boat "SM-3", the German high-speed landing barge "F 334" (220 tons).
Memory:
In Severomorsk, on Muzhestva Square, the TKA-12 boat, commanded by the heroes of the Great Patriotic War, lieutenant B.F. Khimchenko, lieutenant A.O. Shabalin (twice Hero of the Soviet Union), senior lieutenant S.F. Chekrygin, lieutenant G. M. Palamarchuk (Hero of the Soviet Union), Lieutenant L. P. Chepelkin, Lieutenant Commander P. Ya. Shulyakovsky.

In the paper modeling magazine Paper Modeling at number 53, patterns of a D-3 type torpedo boat are presented.
Boats of the D-3 type were produced in the USSR at two factories: in Leningrad and Sosnovka, Kirov Region. By the beginning of the war, the Northern Fleet had only two boats of this type. In August 1941, five more boats were received from the plant in Leningrad. All of them were consolidated into a separate detachment, which operated until 1943, until other D-3s and Lend-Lease allied boats began to enter the fleet. The D-3 boats favorably differed from their predecessors - the G-5 torpedo boats, although they successfully complemented each other in terms of combat capabilities.
D-3s had improved seaworthiness and could operate at a greater distance from the base than the boats of the G-5 project. The installation of side-dropping torpedo tubes made it possible to produce a torpedo salvo at low speed and in the stop position. There was enough space on the deck to accommodate a platoon of paratroopers, which sometimes numbered 60 (!) People. Also on the D-3 torpedo boats, more advanced navigation equipment was installed and conditions for the crew were improved, compartment heating was provided. The body was made of wood, while it turned out to be light and quite durable. With minor damage, the pine swelled, thereby tightening small holes and holes. Ordinary kiln bricks were used as ballast. At the end of the war, radars were installed on some samples of the D-3 boats. It should be noted that Allied torpedo boats such as Vosper and Higgins had radars, but they were dismantled on all samples supplied to the USSR. The survivability of boats of the D-3 type was very high.
During the landing in Linahamari, which was attended by two groups of torpedo boats of the Northern Fleet under the command of Lieutenant Commander A.O. Shabalin and captain 2nd rank S.G. Korshunovich, on the boat TK-114, which did not have time to move away from the pier, the projectile interrupted the rudder thrust. But the crew managed to get the ship out of the shelling, maneuvering with the help of motors alone. Upon arrival of the TK-114 at the base, the sailors counted about 200 holes in its sides. But the most tenacious of the Soviet D-3s was the boat TK-209 of Senior Lieutenant A.I. Kisov, attacked by enemy aircraft near the Kiysky Islands in May 1944. Having destroyed one of German aircraft, TK-209 returned to base with 320 (f) holes in the hull. On the D-3 boats, Soviet sailors accomplished many glorious feats.

This small torpedo boat continues a series of models for school competitions. The model is easy to manufacture and has good driving characteristics.
Construction begins with the body. He is set. Frames are cut out of 3-4 mm plywood. Having drawn them in full size, with the help of tracing paper and carbon paper, they transfer the contours to plywood, cut them out with a jigsaw and process them with a file and sandpaper. The keel frame is made in the same way. Before assembling the set, the joints are coated two or three times with nitro-glue. This work is best done on a flat board - a slipway.
Once again, the frames covered with glue are inserted into the keel frame and fastened with stringers or wound with thread.
A dugout wooden boss is installed in the bow. Outside, it is processed with files and sandpaper, giving the body profile.
For sheathing, thin plywood or cardboard is used. The sheathing parts with glue are applied to the set and fastened with small nails (when the body dries out, the nails can be drowned or pulled out, in the latter case, the holes are sealed with wooden studs on the glue). The finished case is treated with sandpaper and coated with nitro-glue three or four times. Then, with a thick nitro putty, the joints and irregularities are sealed. Before painting, the body is covered several times with the same putty, diluted with acetone or a solvent. After two or three days, when the putty dries out, the body is cleaned with fine sandpaper and a celluloid or thick thread waterline is glued. The underwater part is painted red or green, the surface part is gray, the deck is brown.
1 - guis rod (wire), 2 - storm lifeline (wire), 3 - ventilation bell (wood), 4 - hatch (wood, plexiglass), 5 - bollards (nails), 6 - life inflatable raft (wood, plexiglass ), 7 - spire (wood, plexiglass), 8 - fender of the first shots (wood), 9 - anti-aircraft gun (wood, tin), 10 - torpedo tube (thick paper tube), 11 - wheelhouse (cardboard, plexiglass) , 12 - pin radio antenna (wire), 13 - signal spotlight (wood, plexiglass), 14 - distinctive light (tin, plexiglass), 15 - signal mast (tube, wire), 16 - top light (plexiglass), 17 - cloth fire (plexiglas), 18 - hafel (wire), 19 - halyard (thread), 20 - radar antenna (tube, wood), 21 - engine room vestibule (tin, wood), 22 - depth charge (wood), 23 - apparatus smoke screen(wood), 24 - flagpole (wire), 25 - navicular light (plexiglass), 26 - propeller (brass), 27 - stern tube (tube, brass), 28 - electric motor, 29 - rudder blade (tin), 30 - stern hatch (wood, plexiglass), 31 - logging ladder (wire, tin), 32 - grating decking (wood, plexiglass), 33 - semi-cluster, 34 - dead anchor (brass, plexiglass or wood).
If oil paints are used for painting, then it is not necessary to prime the model with nitro glue: it is enough to impregnate the skin and deck with drying oil or oil pack. Use ordinary putty, under oil paint (mix sifted chalk or tooth powder on drying oil and add a little wood glue to this mass).
Unlike nitro paints, oil paints dry for 10-12 hours, therefore, work on the model should not be continued before this period. Two electric motors with deadwoods and batteries are installed in the body.
A hatch is cut out in the deck to change the batteries.
After the hull is completely ready, you can begin to manufacture superstructures and parts of the boat.
Make the conning tower out of wood, plywood or thick cardboard. They putty and paint it in the same way as the body.
Glue torpedo tubes and depth charges from thick paper. An anti-aircraft gun can be soldered from tin or glued from cardboard. Mast made of wood, tin and wire. Tin wheel.
The finished model must be tested on the water. First of all, it is necessary to ensure that it stands on the water without a list and without a trim (tilt towards the bow or stern). This is achieved by placing the ballast in the hull. In addition, the boat must have a draft at the waterline.
When the model is adjusted, you can start launching.
