Very nice!

The work on the ordered model "Akula II" is completed and I again returned to my ave. "U-151". I drilled holes in the casing for air outlet during immersion, made and installed brackets in the central part of the casing, installed front depth rudders and 4 cross bollards for fastening the lifting masts.

Firma555 I looked at some drawing from a web search for U-151 and saw that it showed forward torpedo's. Do you have any plans about the torpedo's in the U-151?

Yes, of course, this boat has 2 bow torpedo tubes. They are not ready yet, but I will definitely install them.

The tubes look interesting the way they protrude out of the bow looking at the drawing you attached.
Do they have a cover over them?

[firma555]

Yes of course

Cheers I have a book that tells the story of the Deutschland trip to the U.S. in 1916 the book was by the captain Krone Hunter

This is a very rare book. But probably for me it carries little information.
Firstly, I do not speak English and I can not accurately understand all the nuances of this book.
Secondly, this book describes the boat "Deutschlahd", which had no weapons and was originally built as commercial. I am building a boat that has been refitted and commercial.

Today, I again worked a little with the hull and the wheelhouse.
