i think the tube is a funny size, so will be difficult to obtain exactly the same diameter. however, i believe that Robbe will happily sell you a new tube.

Yes thanks,

I spoke to Robbe late this afternoon and they can provide me with piece of pipe.It is an odd diameter of 104mm.

Made a start today on the Robbe U47 and cut all the hull sections, what i am wondering is they dont seem to sit flush to each other, is it the norm to use filler on these joints?

Thanks
