Hi Phil,
Thanks for sending the link! Cool

Unfortunately it's an 8.8cm gun which featured on early U-boats including U552 [Trumpeter model] and U96 [Hachette model].

In 1942 the admiralty ordered for them to be removed as they proved too unwieldy to use accurately at sea. My build [U230] does not have this gun fitted, instead it has two, twin barrelled 2cm guns on the upper 'wintergarden' [area behind the conning tower] and a 3.3cm gun on the lower 'wintergarden'.

Thanks again for the useful info! BigGrin

Regards,
Phil W.

Good evening from 'The Dockyard'.

Well i'm back from my hols and back on the boat. A slow start this week, always the way when I've been away, but more rivets have been laid on the stern section .

The attached photo shows the start of laying the vertical rivet strips starting at the stern , starboard side.

More vertical rivets strips laid on the starboard side. I decided to stop when I reached the end of the free flood holes as this seemed like a suitable point to close this section out. I will carry on with these along the rest of the hull once the stern is completed.

In the same manner I started the port side vertical strips, again, using the end of the free flood holes as a marker for the start of this section.
