Ahoy mates,
another progress. Opened holes on the bow around torpedo doors.
For comparison right side before and left side after drilling.
Inner side. The walls are reduced to the paper thickness.

Very nice work opening up the flood holes, Jiri. I've tried similar things on the old Revell Lionfish and know how hard it is to get them sized so uniformly. Thinning as you've done requires a careful and steady hand - congratulations on a job well done. Barry

Well done prep work and cleaning up! This will pay up nicely later!
