Some pics showing where I've got to. All electrics now work (at least they did yesterday!) Periscopes raise and lower and the front dive planes retract and rotate. Flashing LEDs on tail and fin work too!. Still some work to be done on getting the top hull to mate neatly with the bottom at the bow. Then it's down to testing the water tightness and adjusting the ballasting.
