Continuing with the build of the officers' room. The beds, the sonar, and the radio room are assembled.
Under room for the crew is the forward battery room, the ammo storage, waste and fresh water tanks and all that surrounded by the forward oil bunker. The battery setup in the kit is wrong and incomplete. I shortened the battery cells and cast additional ones from resin for the back rows of cells. Then tedious painting......
I also made the battery service sled from brass wire and styrene sheet.
I also changed allot with respect to the structure of the battery room. The ceiling got two rail for the service sled. The back wall is the inner wall of the oil bunker, that surrounds the battery room. The rectangular structure in the lower left is the waste water tank.
And I'm quite pleased with the look of the assembled piece:
