As the filename suggests, that's the stern torpedo door

Internal structure above the torpedo doors. This is the one that tested my skills to the limit. The PE in the area is 0,4 mm thick - so i could not use the styrene.
Instead i have cut and drilled the PE leftovers.

Once the cross sections are added it should be durable enough.

Vents below the saddle tanks.

Revells idea of the vent - not much to look at.

Hole was drilled , and 5mm styrene tube was glued in , with 3mm tube inside it.

Vent outlet/sort of/

All in and painted - hard to take picture , but i think You get the idea.

Grill glued in.
