                My condolences about your Mum Brian and best wishes to you and your family.

                Amazing work on the interior, truly superb. I had to go back to the start and see what this build was about - a 1/48th U-boat!?!!?! That's insane! My car's smaller than the box it came in!

                        There is only 1 light in the engine space thinking of putting an extra 2 in?

                        From the original build

                          I'm not commenting Bri because I have nothing useful to say , other than 'bring it on!'
                          I do like the addition of the crew figures this time-presumably you have a double quantity with those from the previous build?
