I've just finished this, but here are the build pictures, prior to adding the silicone.
I only needed the upper hull and I dispensed with most of the periscope gear etc.....So I was left with a grand total of nine pieces to glue together!!

Photos 2 and 3 are obviously the wrong way around........
The first stage was the kit construction and painting.
Then I fitted the hull into some polystyrene
Then a layer of tile adhesive.
A layer of polyfilla was applied to form the basic waves, ready for the silicone
Then, as you know, I always use cheap acrylic paints to cover large areas such as the sea. This I built up with various shades of blue/ green....
I intended to put this writing between the pictures, but couldn't figure how to!
Cheers,
Ron
