Have now completed all current issues (up to 19). The only alteration I had to make was to cut down one of the longer bolts the size of the smaller ones due to the changes made for the torpedo room enhancement. It is now a lot more rigid and looks like a sub. Graeme pemberg attached the following image(s):

Nice work Graeme and really taking shape now. I hope you have a wide display area to put this in when it's finished, it is certainly lengthy!?

Thanks for the comments guys. Kev, yes she is long but not too wide so not as difficult to find a place for as it will be for the Victory!!

I have now got the hull fixed to the base board to keep her straight and have started drilling out the vents in the plastic bow pieces - a slow process but worth it I think. Graeme pemberg attached the following image(s):

It`s definitely worth it! Easy to say for me, not even having got one of those parts, where drilling is required :) Following your build with great interest, DaDokta Greetings,

Hi Graeme, superb work on drilling out those vents, certainly looks as if it was very delicate and time consuming work and the results speak for themselves....  .. Very well done... Regards Alan

Thanks for the comments guys. Have finished the vents in one side although it still needs a little fine tuning. Graeme pemberg attached the following image(s):

Well done, Graeme!
I just wanted to mention that i read in a german build diary, that the foremost bolt at the torpedo-section had to be removed when installing the torpedo-tubes, which was very challenging with the hull almost closed at that point.
German Forum
So maybe we should leave that bolt away in the first place?
Just a suggestion.
