This photo is moving further aft showing the location of the forward accommodation space hatch. The actual hatch is made later on in the part-works which is why it isn't fitted here.

Moving further aft, you can see where I've marked out the outline of the modified Type 4 conning tower. A more extensive post on this part of the build will follow shortly.

This photo shows the covers, that when lifted in real life, would reveal the aft torpedo loading hatch.

This final photo shows the rearmost hinged covers.

As I mentioned before, I took me two weeks to complete this part of the build.

That concludes this part of the build; fixing the hinged covers on the top deck in readiness for the conning tower and mahogany planking.

I hope you enjoyed the read and thanks for looking in.

Hi Phil, no more info as of yet.

I was thinking of emailing Revell to see if I could get the plans from them. Worth a try I suppose.

If you can have a think of the of that book or where you saw these details that would be very much appreciated.

I will try all of these avenues first before I spend money on a 1/72 model.

Kind Regards,
Phil W.
