    Thank you sir. We cut our teeth on Industrial Diaplays. I still have you magnificent USS NAUTILUS in the rotation for final detailing, painting and weathering -- maybe I'll finish it this year. Got it all trimmed out and running, and it's a great performer in the water.

    This Type-23 of yours will be one for the ages.

      I don't think the good Doctor will mind. After all, the model I'm presenting here was assembled from his exceptionally fine kit:

          Now seeing these photos again: Did you leave out the anchor well?

            No, sir. That anchor well part slipped right in there perfectly. I have yet to correct my big mistake of not angeling the deployed bow planes, but that fix is planned before I start with the painting.

                  Continuing work on the radio room. I added equipment on the outer wall....on the left the T3PLLä38 direction finder receiver, next to it the Radione R3 short wave receiver and to the right the fuse panel. Below the desk several power supplies and amplifier boxes. Getting full in there....

                    Still working on the raio room. All the wall-mounted equipment is glued in place. I also installed the two brass lamps that will be lighted using 1 mm x 0,5 mm LEDs. Installinge the LEDs was a bit of an Odyssee, but now it should work....I hope. Currently I'm putting the cabling in place. Once that is done, I can think about glueing the cabin to the pressure hull wall....

                      The radio cabin is glued to the pressure hull and the remaining gaps filled with putty. I put the remaining wirng of the equipment into place an installed the speaking tube (red mouth piece).

                      ​​

                      The radio cabin speaking tube and the speaking tube for the helmsman rund down from the conning tower through shut off valves (in case of a flodded conning tower).



                      The whole assembly fits neatly into the bottom structure of the control room...

                              I'm slowly moving ahead...the pressure hull wall has been painted and weathered. On the left radio room outer wall the switch boxes for echo sounder and gyro compass have found their positions. On the top right the display device for the Atlas echo sounder, left of it the tiny adjustment box for the preamplifier. Left below the pre amplifier and right below it the switch box with the signal generation. The big block at the bottom is the switch box for the Anschütz gyro compass and the compass daughters. Cables have to be added....

                              All that fits quite well in the bottom assembly. The bulkhead to the torpedo room is installed and painted.The table on the back right for the gyro compass has been installed. The big tube in the front is the ventilation duct that sucks air form the radio room, the torpedo room and the battery compartment.

                                Are going to display this in 1/2 the hull only or are you going with those red-edged cut out windows?
