Dang! That looks good.

Tell me about the limber holes, were the predrilled, or did you drill them out/paint them? I have one model so far I attempted to paint the holes black and it was not as uniform as I would prefer.

The limber holes were pre-drilled. You can buy stick-on patches as part of the detailing kit to depict the closed vents on the top of the ballast tanks. If I remember correctly they also provided masks for marking out the flood vents along the bottom of the tanks, but I didn't do that.
