That's looking really nice.  I find this is the best part of builds - the weathering.

[Mark, The Master Modeller]

Loving all the detail in this kit.  I hope Agora decide to pick it up!

Your weathering on the hull is brilliant.  It takes a lot of skill to weather in sections like you're doing.  I have to do weathering in one go as I can never get it completely consistent.  

[Morris]

A small update, mainly continuing the internal compartments and electronic stuff. Have added another outer hull panel I need to weather…

[Mark, The Master Modeller]

Loving all the detail on this model.  She is looking really good Morris.

[Morris]

Thx Mark. Short update - mounted periscope raise/rotate motors….installed it in the control room module…installed the 2 modules into the sub. Added a keel extension. It’s getting difficult to photo due to its length. 
 

[Morris]

Sorry for the Willy Nilly sequence of these pics but further progress made. Need to catch up the weathering a bit….
