Hi Andrew, the holes were a refreshing change from the Typhoon. There were only 30 to start with, the hull is thinner and theres no need to file it down to the line. The tricky bit will be building the water tight container. Its going to be my first effort and I want to be able to move it between different hulls. So that means a bit of forward thinking as some future sub may require extra functionality such as opering for front dive planes, sound , light etc.
