Hull Cuts and Escape Trunks

The only way to install the escape trunks was to make hull cuts below them. They do it on the real thing to remove and install equipment to large for the hatches so I did the same idea in scale. The escape trunks are only basic shapes since you can barely see through the hole once it is all installed but here they are before painting.
