U-515 Hull

The upper portion of the hull was either stretched out from twenty years of sitting or it was just that way from the initial molding when it was manufactured. To compensate and provide a good surface to build the deck on I had a sheet of aluminum cut out to the required shape of the deck. This was glued to a lip made from plastruct angles glued to the hull and then the whole thing was bound for several days with tape to ensure a solid seal was made after gluing the aluminum to the hull and mounting angles.
