Ahoy David

Thanks for sharing.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your wife.

Really nice work I like it.

Is it built straight out of the box?

Cheers

No aftermarket parts. I used bead crimps for the insulators and the fore and aft cable eyes were constructed from sewing needles. The cables are secured through the needle eyes. Thank you.

Condolences on the passing of your wife.

Very nice work on that u boat, David.

A overall wash and some dry brushing will make all that fine
detail stand out.

Hope to see more pics as you progress.

Cheers,
Joe
