Piecing the Submarine together:
Stitch the two windows to the middle of the submarine body.
Then curve the red stripe along the front of the submarine and stitch it down. You could also surface slip stitch a red stripe onto the submarine if that feels easier.
The body of the sub should be overlapping the fins, propeller, and the periscope base. The long neck of the periscope should be sticking out of its base. Stitch everything down to the bubble square once you have it placed correctly.
