The detailing and weathering has begun.
I have added the windows. i had to make them. Somehow I lost the windows from the kit. I will probably paint them black from the inside unless somebody knows a better way of making them look "blacked-out".

As you can see I weathered the cabins and torpedoes. I added the cables to hold the torpedoes in the racks. Thanks to an earlier post I think I have then located in the right rotation. Italeri didn;t line the fins up with the access port so I opted to put the rudders vertical and the port as close to up as possible.

I also added the flag lines and electrical cables between the deckhouse and mast.

Let me know what you think, especially if I have something glairingly wrong.
