I know, I'm in danger of becoming a serial starter but working on different types of model is helping my current mental health problems. This is actually the second bite of the cherry for me as I was building this kit shortly after it was released by Mikro-Mir. Sadly, it got dropped and several detail parts were lost forever. There things would have stayed and I had all but forgotten about the model until I stumbled across a build of the kit on YouTube. Interest re-ignited, a replacement kit was sourced and this duly arrived yesterday. I do love these very early submarines and, with other builds on the bench having one thing or another setting, I cracked open the box to day and began. Some of the parts exhibit considerable flash and time spent getting rid of this will pay dividends. Having got the hull halves together, I fitted some strips of plastic card below where the deck will fit. This is not only useful from the point of adding strength to the deck but also allows the deck to be worked on away from the model and then slotted into place when the modeller is ready. Thus far I have got the deck fettled to the point that only the tiniest smear of filler will be required near the stern. Panel lines on the model are a bit woolly and the boat will require a complete re-scribe. Thanks for looking. Martian 👽
