Busy days, managed to get the tower netcutter build and made the netcutter on front of the boat, still have to add the details on some parts but the beginning is there,
Soldered all pieces together, giving you this, the basic layout of the tower netcutter.
Those curved parts need to be reenforced with some little bars between the curved parts, i will do that at a later stage.
The beginning of the front netcutter on the bow, it's pretty basic, only had to add the contruction which hold the upperpart.
Dryfitting the netcutter on the tower, all other parts of the tower have to be modified.
In the past i've builded the tower in such way that i can take all parts off by simply unscrewing two bolts.
Added the rivets which holds the netcutter to the tower, those rivets are glued tight from the inside of the tower, the rivets on the hull are only glued at one side, giving me the possibility to lift the tower without any problems.
The new configuration to the type B conversion, there's loads of work more, but i've got me a beginning.
The new netcutter on the bow, secured with 1 mm rivets and glued down, that new stringer pointing out will be a part of the new bowpart which protects the torpedo tubes.
For now i've got to add some details and start thinking how to build the new protector of the torpedo tubes, from what i've seen on the pictures this will be interesting to build.
