Kevin got a reaction from Papa in U552 by Kevin - Trumpeter - 1/48 - PLASTIC - German U-boat - Started November 2021
good evening everyone
whilst i decide what to do with the torpedo's in a diorama setting i have in mind, i got on with the tubes
Confession time, i made the tubes up yesterday morning, not feeling very well at all and well just glued two halves together, well the result was not as expected, each of the 8 tube halves has its own number on the sprue NOT one pair was correct so all dismantled and redone, a real pain as they did not want to part at all, i think with all the added detail they came out all right i have primed them now
the larger compartment pieces have also had a coat of primer on them the deck head as had the light fitting drilled out to take a 3mm lamp
each tube when built correctly goes into position A-D
primer on the top one
still to sort the ends out and decide which one is going to be open
