I am having a problem installing the three pressure hulls that i sent away for. my moel is a revel 1/72'scale u-boat item 05015. I glued the two halves together with ca glue.I already glued the two spacers,Parts 12 & 13 in place to strengthen the sub hulls.I sent for a ca glie debonder.& wonder if i should use it on the two spacers,so I can attach a couple of strene plastis braces for the pressure hulls to sit on? Their is three pressure huls that i purchased from yankee model works.the pressure hull kit number was YKM-7201.Is there anyone who has started to build this 1/72" scale u-boat from revel,& has also ordered the inside pressure hulls/ & If you had already joined the two hulls together,how did you get the pressure hulls inside.thanks.roberet cothran E mail Bobddr2sbcglobal.net

The p-hulls...are less than perfect to be polite. I bought them and have decided not to use them at all. I think your best bet is to fit them in without trying to take the hull apart. You should be abe to fiddle them in place, but I would thin down bits here and there, and add some extra supports. The folks who did the CMK interior compartments realy had to gring the p-hull to make it all fit.

Hope this helps
