Torpedo launcher bent a little :/

Photoetch will come in handy for the Radar, cranes etc. Building the funnels platform will be a challenge 🙂

When working on the aft mast, I noticed that the PE for the Tamiya kit did not quite fit on the Trumpeter kits mast. Consequently, I had to widen the holes of both platforms to fit them... otherwise the set seems fitting for the kit 🙂

Good luck with the pe! Looks fine, so far! The Prinz is one of my favorites!
