The real U-199 after it's surrender 

First step is drilling holes, and many of them 🙂 

Hull glued, fit is near perfect  

There are some annoying pin marks that cause fit issues and needs additional work.
The ones here cause a small gap in the drive shaft housing. There are also pin marks on the snorkel and the forward torpedo tubes that need work in order to get it smooth.  

Torpedo doors in the open position.  

GHG receiver balcony needed quite some work as it is a multi part moulding.
I used plastic strip to sort the gap between the balcony and the keel. 

Added the anti radar material and the 'Bali 1' antenna to the snorkel. 

 

 

 

With some paint on it looks ok 

Tower in progress  

Fit is quite good
