Thank You very much for opinions. Unfortunately, I am not so happy with these effects... Weathering is far from being pefect and I am not too optimistic about final result...

Good grief!! If I didn't know better I's swear this was a real boat! You give a whole new meaning to the term "Master Modeller". This is fantastic!

Fellow Modellers, I need some help here. I can't find anywere the answer to my question which is:
During the alarm, in which sections the regular lights are being replaced with red light?
Thanks in advance for help.

I am one step from closing the torpedo section so here are some photos. After closing the roof of the section the access will be quite limited. That's unfortunate because a lot of beatiful details will disappear...

Ok, I know some time has passed since I have started this thread but it is better late than never! I am now back at my workstation with this huge model. I have started with torpedo section and here are some photos. Torpedo (I have used different colors than Trumpy has suggested): Ceiling part of torpedo section: Wall and passage to soldier rest and radio section: Lower part of torpedo section - torpedo storage (4 items): Upper part of torpedo section: So, how do You think? I am mostly interested in opinions from fellow modellers concernig the weathering...
