      Excellent!
      I see so many model subs where this thankless and long winded task has been avoided. To the detriment of the finished article.

      It has to be done, but trust me, the end result will transform what is already a superb build into another level.

      Steady as she goes, Brian.

                    It's not a race, Brian.

                    Steady as she goes and top marks for doing it in the first place. a lot of folks would just paint the 'Holes' black, to the detriment of the finished model.

                    Looking nice and neat and then when the slots are all done, the boat will look 'Ace'

                          Amazing steady hand Brian. Burnt out drill motor more likely.

                              Hope not that Tamiya plastic drill was £34 but it is very good.

                                A labour of love and dedication. It will be worth it.
