      Cheers Scotty…as soon as I make up my mind how to move forward, I’ll enjoy this more. A lot of bench time at the moment is sitting and staring at it, trying to make decisions.

            Not massively visible progress, but soldered all the wiring up and tidied the cables to the internals. There is a video...but you'll have to make do with stills.

              Hi Jack, Good to see something really different being blogged and who doesn’t like a U-boat!

              Superb work with the upgrades and lights…..keep at it and I’m sure this is going to be a great display piece :thumb2:

                        Thank you all. Very kind words.

                        Not making hugely noticeable progress, just small bits and pieces. However can't get my head around this on the torpedo feed. Assume it to be a mistake:

                        That supporting bar is supposed to fit into that hole. It can't and it won't. No where near. Assuming I have made the rest up correctly?

                          Could you just turn it round?

                            is it not for the other side?

                              There is a protruding bar that slots into the slide. Only one way of orientating it.

                              No a completely different structure on the other side, which fits perfectly.

                                Nothing else in the sprue that would do the job? Might be a part for a different version?
