Isn't it kinda perverse to decorate a German U-boat with PE from a
British firm called
White Ensign?. My Uboat might murder me in my sleep. I've already opened up all the free-flood holes on the hull and bevelled the plastic around the holes to appropriate thinness. I just drilled out all the drain holes, every last one, on the Revell 1/72 Uboat's conning tower using a 1/32" drill bit in a pin vice. I am now exacto-knifing my way through all the limber holes on each of the 3 deck sections. Next I plan to make the entire, detailed pressure hull out of styrene plastic. After that I'll make the equipment under the casing from mostly brass tubes. When that's done I'll make new handrails on the deck, the conning tower, wintergarten, and periscope stand from soldered copper wire of the
currect diameter. Finally I will scratch build the voice tube, compass repeater, engine room telegraph, and torpedo site pedastal. The only photoetch I'll need would be the handwheels for the 88 canon and the 20mm flak.
