Hi,
i recently finished this project, it took me about a year to complete this model.
Almost every aftermarket upgrade kits which are available for this kit were used:
-Nautilus wooden deck
-Eduard VII/C PE kit
-White Ensign models type VII flood, drain and vent holes PE kit
-Griffon FLAK-guns high detail kit
-Modelbrass type VII PE kit
-Archer transfers type VII rivet decal set
I opened al the floodholes, added ribs inside the hull above the saddletanks, remade the railings from 0.5mm brass wire, scratchbuild the whole exhaust system wich lies beneath the deck, `oil canned` the hull, replaced about 800 rivets wich were sanded away, corrected the `bull nose` and corrected all the faults in this kit (wich are many....)
Greetz,
Karel
