Looks good so far, I see you decided to paint after guling it all

I glued the hull and painted it, then painted the deck separatedly and glued it. The Conning tower also has been worked on separately, and will be glued in the end.

I found out that some partes were too difficult to paint after gluing, like f.e. the platform of the conning tower

so I had to paint first and then glue.

Pity you are not drilling the holes in the hull, looks excellent, though I recon it's a huge work.

Keep us updated.
