PvG Aussie Posted May 11 Author Share #31 Posted May 11 (edited) Thanks for all the likes and 'Wows!' Had a good day today. I managed to paint, weather and attach the hathes and torpedo doors to the bow. Built the rear machine gun and hatches and added them to deck. Also finished and attached the conning tower. (I have the tower crew to add later) Still didn't find out what the red knobs are or how to present a decal flag so it looks real. (See previous post for details.) Have a good weekend folks.

PvG Aussie Posted May 18 Author Share #35 Posted May 18 Thanks for the 'likes and wows' I certainly need them to keep enthused. I've finished the 'fiddly bits' but am now at the stage where I keep breaking things as the model becomes more conjested. Is it just me or does that happen to everyone? Anyway, progress is being made today as I: Completed the rigging around the diving planes, exhaust and air intake tubes, and set up the antenna posts in preparation for the wire strands. Have a great weekend, Cheers Scottish Guy, Canute, yvesvidal and 1 other 4 Quote PvG Aussie (Peter) Started modelling Jan 2022. Joined MSW March 2024. Quote: Rome wasn't built in a day!

PvG Aussie Posted May 20 Author Share #36 Posted May 20 (edited) Finally the communication cables, front gun, crew and flag have been added! It is finished and I would recommend this build to anyone as the problems were almost non-existant. Thanks to those who have shown an interest and kept me going with comments, wows and likes. They are much appreciated. It has been an enjoyable experience, especially since I joined MSW in March this year. See the final MSM Gallery link here.

ccoyle Posted May 20 Share #37 Posted May 20 Wonderful finish! It's rather amazing to think that only eight years elapsed between the last Holland boat and the launch of U9.
