Well, I had some time to burn yesterday, so I pulled out my tools and more PCV pipe.
Few hours later I ended up with this.














Now, remember, this is quick and dirty, very little of it will be visible but at least I

Cezar- this is the shot of Yankee Modelworks P. Hull

You may wish to copy whats there, as it is similar to whats on the real boats, not all of it is accurate, but its OK. The mufflers are missing, but you can get the inspiration here:http://u-552.blogspot.com/2008/03/stern-ribbing-and-exhausts.html

yankee modelworks' hull is 80% correct, so it should be o.k.. just ad a bended pipe from the mufflers (red arrows) to the outlet.

visibility?
as rokket said: "I could have painted it (pressure hull) fluorecent green, you won't see a lot later on"  (or so)
and that was in 1/72!

Looking good Cezar!
It only goes to show you dont need to spent mega bucks to end up with good looking pressure hull. In fact it is better than Yankee Modelworks P. Hull, as it is round, and not flat as a pancake, as Y.M is.
Dont forget to glue something under the Conning Tower, as often modellers leave the space empty, and it can look strange when the C.T. hangs in midair.  ;)

Siara, thanks for the tip, i have it covered, there will be structure there, just like in your model. As well as the mine shafts.
But, this is far from now, i'm going to try to scribe the outside of the hull like you did, the slight cave in areas between the welds and rivets.
Wish me lots of luck...
Cezar.

Well done cezar, your boat is looking awesome. I've already built this boat but will keep a keen eye on this one for my next try at this model.
Good luck!
