[Guest]

Made a start on the bridge, made a cable for search light & made my own rigging eyes for the mast as the ones in the kit look out of scale.

I will do the weathering before I fit it to the deck, this should not take long so pic's should be posted tonight.

Looks good to me John! I always thought the Schnellboots lived a hard life & that's how you've made it seem

[Guest]

Well on the way to cracking this one out, drilled out the engine room vents to give a little depth, will weather the tubes before fitting.

Hope to crack it out by the end of the day.

Had a big problem while spraying the hull every time I removed the tape it took some paint with it, so I gave up on spraying & used the hairy stick.

And yes I was using Tamiya tape.

Just perfect John! I especially like the salt stained torpedo tubes, that's a very clever effect
