Good morning from 'The Dockyard'.

This weeks update continues with scratch building the remaining parts of the conning tower upper deck on my 1/48 scale model of U-boat U230.

The attached photo shows a piece of 0.5mm thick plastic sheet cut and profiled to fit underneath the upper deck to form the tapered angle as it meets the main conning tower body.

I then taped it in place and ran small beads of glue along its edges to secure.
