Italeri 1:35 S-38 Schnellboot

Although I actually started this a week or so ago I've only now thought about doing a WIP. As it is, I spent most of this time filling and sanding, particularly the large section of the lower bow which was short shot.

That's a promising start ! Don't know how accurate you wish to make your model but the door of the bow gun tub should be at the rear and not at the side. This is quite easy to remedy, at least if you haven't glued the fore deck yet (simply remove the tub and give it a quarter turn). The diameter of the opening in the fore deck is also too small. A pic of my own S-100 build to illustrate my remarks :

 

 

By the way, I like the paint job on the Vosper MTB (MTB 297 ?)

Thanks for the tip Arjan will try and sort it, but the large lug in the tub only allowed one to fit it with the door to the side.   Meanwhile, I've been hacking and slashing the engine deck, replacing all the plastic hatches with brass ones. still have some tidying up to do but they're looking ok. Also found a good place for the honey Jack Daniels while I do some modelling.

Not keen on the honey JD but an excellent position for it.
