Update.
Managed to forget the adjusting lever for theCmdrs seat.

Now painted and in place....
Put the base coat onto the inside areas....

And done a little bit of detail painting. The drivers periscopes are clear sheet with one side painted black, this side once dry was cut to size and cemented into place with pva glue.
At this point I would like to say thankyou to all the members that have commented and left likes, they are most welcome. And as usual if you want to ask questions then do so, even if they seem obvious, I will answer them.
Cheers.
Mike.
Scottie I promised you a couple of pics of my templates....


These are what I use for bending copper wire to shape.

That is a very good idea, those templates. They’re glued to the sheet underneath, right? I never thought of doing that …

Update.
So from the nice clean interior I have given it a wash and then a bit of pigment dust.... But first I had to place the instrument panel...

Then the wash and dusting took place....




Just a little more to do with the dusting - adding and removing, plus some bits of equipment and I can add the top to the hull.
Cheers
Mike

Outstanding details mate.

Love the details, chains, ratchet strap, rope, oil stains, I can almost smell it.
