Rear hull welds

The interlocks between the Tiger's main hull plates were tabs in holes. The holes had round ends with small blocks to fill them. These raised weld lines demark the pieces.

Ustar Rear hull welds

Ustar's model has a good representation of the welds at the front of the hull, but not at the rear. You can improve its look by cutting away most of these crossbars to make them resemble the real welds.
