Used a Dremel with the "pink coloured sanding ball thingie" fitted (sorry, can't find a name for the attachment). Used this at a slow speed and as carefully as porcupines  making love. It works and is the quickest way to open the vent holes.

Uboat flood holes
Posted by zappa1971 on Monday, June 4, 2007 11:53 AM

Just picked up the Revell 1:72 VII C (on clearance at local Hobby Lobby for 25 bucks!!) 

I am in the process of opening up the flood holes and it is very labor intensive.  Does anyone have a recommendation of the easiest/fastest way to do this?  I tried using a Dremel with a sanding disc from the back, but, even though it worked, I did go a little too deep at one section.  I also tried a small pointed diamond bit, which works, but is a little too tough to control and tends to wallow out the holes too big if not careful.

 

How did you do it?
