                Is the rudder post glued to the rudder piece and freely rotates in the top and bottom stern section

                or does the rudder piece pivot around a fixed rudder post?

                    The rudder operating shaft is a jam fit to the skeg sections and the bore of the rudder is a non-interference fit to the operating shaft. It takes only moments to install/remove the entire rudder assembly.

                                    Will you be punching out ALL of the limber holes?

                                        Nope, just the above waterline ones. I'll punch fake flood-drain holes in the bottom of the keel.

                                                        Jake,
                                                        a before and after shot of the hull would show the great deal of work that was accomplished. Well done.
                                                        Of the approximately 40,000 men who served on U-boats in WWII, it is estimated that around 28,000 to 30,000 lost their lives.
