I’ve thought of that. May yet give it a go. Good ideas. Thanks.

The build looks really good, difficult to believe it's just a "simple" kit. The paintwork camouflage that very well!

Thank you, Kari. Total parts count: 40. about 25% of those were the deck cleats, capstans, etc. Not much to it. No railings, no torpedo door outlines, no anchors.....

Balls to that, don't put yourself down my man :nono:

If you saw my work up close you'd laugh your arse off - I'm just good at hiding it. If you could see the seam on the bottom of this Kiowa on the bench next to me you'd faint. I just can't be arsed to do anything about it.
