Hi All,
Been back to the bench today.
This morning was too wet for my current 'outside' project. (New Decking at rear of house, and relaying paving slabs)
So, taking advantage of the poor weather, I managed to bend the conning tower railings and glue into place.
These attach by stanchions (Something Haddock hates!), so aid location I drilled small 0.3mm pilot holes in the gun deck, then stuck Tamiya tape underneath them to prevent pushing all the way through.
Then using a tapered rolling tool (supplied by Haddock) bent them into a half round shape then added them to the conning tower using minute drops of superglue.
Several attempts were needed but once done, I am happy with the result.
I also attached the diving planes to the bow section.
