Finished her up in very little time. I must say again that I think this scale is a little small for me, either that or I should have printed the smaller parts out on lighter paper.
Overall the fit was wonderful, but the deck section has a horrible fit!

And it's just as bad at the other end! Makes me worry a bit about the Hunley model. Some felt pen covers the mistake.

In wrestling the deck around, I managed to deform it a little, but not too bad. The guns are quite simple, thankfully!

Finished! A rather spare-looking vessel, to be sure, but interesting in its own way.

There's some rather tiny bits on the propeller end, but I still managed to get the thing to spin like an airplane prop!:D

What was really a pleasure on this one was the alignment of the hull sections. It came out very straight with almost no effort. I think I need to do something bigger for my next one!
