To the stern:

After checking with my reference pictures, i extended the floodholes under the sail. Some minor work done. An old propeller stuck onto the rotary tool effectively blows away all the dust during the milling so one can see the drawing.

Next will be finishing the torpedo shutters. I will make an individual profile grinder to finally shape those recesses.

Started on the shutter doors. The front part was easy. Made a template for the rear section and found my original error: the depht of the tube muzzles as made with the kit are already too deep plus they're entirely wrong shaped.I should have filled them flush and made them all new from the start. Will remove the brown nitro-filler, make a rounded stencil from a piece of pipe with appropriate diameter and push it into fresh filler applied to the recess to produce the channel. Otherwise, it's filling all up again and grinding in a new channel...
