Remember the aggressive grinding incident? I made one of the limber holes look kinda like this:
I cut the top of the hole until it was even all the way across. Not sure if this was neccessary, but hey, I'm learning here.
I then CA glued a small piece of quarter round styrene behind the hole, trimming it away from the neighboring holes.
This is the finished repair after filling with Squadron White putty and shaping/filing/sanding.
The bottom of the hole is kinda ugly. I'm thinking of melting a bit of sprue and using it to fill that spot, using a tiny jewellers screwdriver as a putty knife. Will test it out a bit before I make the attempt.
Started opening up the lower vents. WOW, was scraping/sanding the aft vents intense. I kinda botched it a bit, but it should be a simple fix. Pics next week.
The order for the Griffon Type VIIC PE set went out yesterday. Should pick it up next Friday (payday). Also, waiting for a copy of Type VII Uboats by David Westwood to arrive at the house.
See you next week.
