Probably not I always remember them being covered, but that's not it.
Brian's 1/48 Dkm u-Boat Type Viic U-552

In my wisdom I put the deckhead on before the exhaust manifold was fitted, so I couldn't get it without cutting a piece off if you look it doesn't reach the engine manifold
I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't said Brian.

Lovely job Brian :thumb2:
Will be starting the rear torpedo/motor room today that will be the last of the modules, but then the start of the main hull and conning tower so lots of work to come (drilling out the vents) etc.
Made a start
That engine looks like it could start and run, Great detail in it.
It looks fantastic finished and in situ, maybe another LED that lights up the other end and from the viewing side to better the view. But It looks very good as it is.
