Then the whole thing was air brushed. As I disliked the red of the underwater hull, I changed it into red brown. Now the hull looked like that.

The hull looks very good!

Thanks!

After closing the hull, some struts of the after deck had to be fitted. As they had different shapes it`s advisable to glue each one immediately after cutting. Next was the boat overhead travelling crane with a lot of triangular reinforcements.

As usual, it's like looking at a full-sized ship!

to get some kind of diversification I did some small parts, like bollards, fairleads, cable holders etc.

Great work on the small stuff! Hard to tell from the original!

You really worked your way around those hull issues well Hans!
The little parts looks awesome.

I wonder how many problems my 1993 verison has...

Next in line was a ventilator with a small wood deck platform. More ventilators followed. These parts had a lot of curvatures, which I stabilized with pores filler and then grind. The gratings are cut from a standard photo-etched part.
