on the hull there are lines of “pimples”. in photos they look like either portholes or openings. Can anyone please tell me what they are, and if they should be through holes or glazed or drilled and blanked off?

Please be careful with using the real HMS Belfast as any kind of guide for building the Airfix kit; the kit depicts her during WWII and the ship is as she existed at the end of her service life in 1963, although she is painted in a WWII camouflage scheme. I would research photos of her as she existed at the time you wish to model her.

I will Warshipguy, but even the wartime photos dont show the sides covered in little pimples [whstl] , am trying to figure out what they are/were so i can maybe do something about it [;)]
if just below decklevel then they are portholes. i have at least 6 plus of her to build into different ships. have a look at this link of her. www.world-war.co.uk/…/belfast.php3
