The StB battery walls were then finished and the whole had to fit properly with the entire board wall.
So I glued the sideboard parts, preformed and temporarily attached to the hull.
This helped me very much to test the positions of the port holes, the torpedo-set and the drainage openings.
The aluminum plate served here only to the weight of the deck ...
So I could nicely check if the trench fits.
The armor belt and the tailboard wall is of course not yet optimally
preformed, but it fits already.
