    Yes, there is some spot and running rust from some of those openings. But subtly! You 'feel' that discoloration more than 'seeing' that discoloration -- LESS IS MORE! First rule of weathering.

    Bingo, Herr Doctor. I kept the 'yellow' low-key so as not to clash too much with the plain-Jane light and dark gray of the surrounds. As a boat undergoing training it would have been subject to significant pier-side time, so I gave it a light skirt of green marine grass.

    Yes, the 1:1 scale ships had yellow markings while on training ops before being released to do real stuff. To help alleviate "friendly" fire.

    Thanks, it will be noted down for the future, saves time adjusting the ADF

    Question, at which setting you run the ADF?, got to know for the future, still have to order some ADF's from Bob together with some other needed stuff.

    Manfred







    For a new boat -- and I've only got a few minutes underwater time with my little Type-21 -- I set the ADF to its least sensitive setting. The Type-21 was rock-steady about the pitch plane with the ADF set to the lowest sensitivity setting.

    Only rarely do I find a boat that needs a more responsive angle-keeper.

    The more severe the objects draft, the less precise the contour gauge becomes.
    Understood.
