    Some more pics of hatch detail and a not to good internal pic.
    Torpedo tubes help hide hatch line. Another pic of 0.5 m/c guns shows cooling flutes on barrels.

    Hi
    Yes she has been sailing a number of times.Boat number 623 has been sprayed on since this photo was taken and she carries the Norweign flag based on a photo I have.
    I probably scratch built 95% of the fittings.Example the .50 m/c guns in tubs beside bridge are from small jewellers screwdrivers to show cooling flutes in barrel.
    Will post some more photos in a few days.
