I’ve also added square tubing inside the hull to create more realistic main flood holes (I’ve had to thin out the walls quite a bit to cut out the holes properly, so the walls looked too thin through the holes).
The next pictures should give you a general idea on the modifications I have done to the flood holes on the kit. I have also made some exhausts for the kit based on the ones on U-2518. These were made using the Mission Model photoetch bending tool (this was another new experience for me as I have never worked with photoetch before).

MadWolf,
Great looking boat. I really like all the small detail that you put in to it.

This is what I really like, somebody taking the time and effort to research an item and do as good a job as they can to recreate it. This is modeling. Great job.

Thanks a lot, my friends! I really appreciate your feedback! I will be back to the shiprights in a few months building the Bismarck.
Here is a link to my album if you guys want to see some reference pictures of U-2511 and other XXI boats.
