Thanks for looking in Guys and your nice comments. Things are slow at the moments as figuring out the best way to build her and which order to fit parts before or after painting and before or after wooden decks etc. I bought the Top drawings Tirpitz book and that gives me so much info. I will try to correct what I think will be noticed plus a few others just for the sake of it lol. The portholes were mainly correct but had to remove four and add about ten in the correct places. I changed the plastic gun tub and changed it to a strip of old PE fret. I have joined the two decks together and sanded and then decided to add the cabling along the structure. Air vents have been replaced and tried to recreate and position them from the plans. I also notice that some of the solid railings were too short so extended them with Styrene. I have added the cutouts for the Periscope too. Chris          On the bench 1/350 Revell Tirpitz Platinum Edition (Pontos PE and Wooden deck) plus extra Eduard PE set and extra MK1 door sets.

WOW Chris, no one can fault your attention to detail! Most people probably wouldn't have picked up on half of what you have corrected. But it's all the better for it

Thanks guys for the nice comments. I have nearly done one side of this module, I've added all the portholes some more doors and some extra detail not included. I've added some of the boat racking as well. The instructions show three on this side but the plans only have two so two it is.
