So, I obsessed for a bit about anchors, the kit version is too narrow, doesn't have the wide shoulders of the original, made 2 additional pairs based off photos, probably hit the limits of my skill level. Also Schrieber-Bogen depicts them dropping straight down out of the hawsepipes, so tried to remedy that, but I think my angle's a little off as well.

Prop shafts bother me: they exit the hull much lower than the prototype. Wish I could have anticpated that, but it was a more subtle boo-boo than Scheiber's non-pointy stern. Also boot topping simply too wide forward and aft, so replaced it with 1mm card, about as thin as I could manage.

A-Deck aft was pretty wonky, think I figgered out what I did wrong, and tried to use the side structures (railing/stanchion parts) to even things out.

Oh, for the next person who does this, Sonnendeck aft is missing the hole for the mainmast socket, and components 121, 121a which aren't on the instruction sheet, appear to be the aft walls of the Wintergarten.
