The other side of the waterline, then making a start on the bottom hull. Time to see how well it stands up: the result is satisfactory, almost satisfying. At that point I had still not planned on painting, and the result is almost good enough on its own. I still had to paint a band of black at the waterline anyway - Zio's waterline is not entirely straight as mentioned in the last post.

Another more serious issue is the location of the portholes on the hull - they are too high, the bottom most row should be below the level of the main belt, but on the model they are above it and too far from the waterline. That was one of the primary reason of deciding to paint the entire hull. (I bought a set of PE portholes for this.)

There is also a photo showing the barrel set for 1:350 Zara-class. I am sure nobody will notice the difference in scale...
