    The cabin is almost ready. It remains only to install running lights.

        Looking good FIRMA555. Very nice detail on the underside of the hatch. Quite a difference between this boat
        and WWII boats as this was probably riveted and later boats welded.

          You continue to make it look easy. That sail is in itself a work of art! Thank you for sharing!
          If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

                Yes, I also had to rack my brains to figure out how to make this.Click image for larger version

                  I just joined the forum and just ran across this build thread. I have to say Firma555, this is world class work. Very nicely done.

                      I got some details for the boat and continued to work. I installed the bulwarks (unfortunately not all) and began to lay the deck flooring. After examining many of the available photos, we determined for ourselves the dimensions of the deck board. Length -3.5 m, width - 14 cm.
                      Based on this, I cut 4 mm veneer. I chose the color - walnut, because it is most suitable for a tick.Click image for larger version

                            That brass work is wonderful.
