Not nitpicking,, but trying to help,
The class had a 5 bladed propeller, no the three in the model. and be aware too, she NEVER had a redlead lower hull as in so many pre construction paintings, she was always black lower hull, her upper hull started as a Blue grey mix, and then whent to black , like the lower
Also,, the cleats and bits shown on the model,, When Underway, they were retracted into the outer skin. A truck the USA learned from the Type XXI and XXIII class boats.

Looking forward to seeing her,
Somewhere here I saw posts of a Skipjack before in Silent hunter, was that your boat too?
