Boy Jess, that's going to look pretty sweet when she's finished. I would suspect that once finished, you could spend hours looking for all the details that you put into it.

Thanks guys. This one is crawling. I really want to be patient and do the best I can. Would really like to replace the wintergarten railings as well as the CT railings with wire closer to scale. I need to get a soldering iron and practice soldering.

Working another, U-302, right now. Modeling her with her training stripes. More out of the box than the U-253.

Thanks again for the compliments.

Take Care,

Jess

Hi Jess

Just a little tip:
If you don't want to use the soldering ironyou can use Gel Superglue (I know it isn't the same but it will work)

Keep up the Excellent work!!!!
