Frames 9-3 and 9-4 are each 

marked with an ‘R’ because they are 

intended for use with the starboard 

(right-hand) torpedo tubes. In kit 11 you will 

receive corresponding frames labelled ‘L’, 

the mirror image of these ones, for use 

with the port (left-hand) tubes, 2 and 4. 

Note 2: 

The two parts labelled ‘L’ in frame 

9-5 are for use later on in the build, 

with kit 11.

Note 3:

The contents of frames 9-4, 9-6, 

9-7, 9-8 and 9-9 are labelled A to S
