This photo shows all of the ribs fixed in place and the ends cut flush to the leading edge of the inner pressure hull.

I then filed smooth the ends of all the ribs.

To match the style of the cut-out ribs on the part-works supplied plastic hull pieces I filed a bevelled edge.

To continue that 'cut-away' effect I measured and glued ribs that would be seen on the near edge as shown in this photo. I left them longer than needed so that I could hold and position them correctly.

The complete process took two weeks and I think it turned out very well.

In the next post I will be looking at making the profiled 'scalloped' saddle tank ends on this compartment.

I hope you enjoy the read.

Thanks for looking in and happy modelling.

Kind Regards,
Phil W. BigGrin

Good Evening from 'The Dockyard'.

On this part of my U230 U-Boat build I will be fitting profiled and scalloped ends to the saddle tank that span the Junior Rates Mess & Galley as mentioned in my previous thread last week.

The attached image shows the area I will be working on. As before the U-boat is inverted to aid easier working.
