Title: Dean's HMS Amethyst
Post by: DickyD on March 23, 2010, 05:50:32 pm

Has anyone got an instruction book for this kit they can let me have ?

The one I need is the one for the kit before it was updated.

Hi

I  don't know how much help this will be but I am building HMS Hart at 1:48 on a fleet scale hull and have built up a reasonable stash of photos and drawings (I also have builders plans) so I can't help with kit questions but am more than willing to help with reference.

Keep marching on mate,the swans are nice little ships

All the best

Wes

I just got my kit a few days ago, are you building it as the HMS Amethyst or other ships of the class?

I'm building as Amethyst or as near as I can get.

As per my post on another thread. Deans supplied me with the instructions for what looks like the older version of the kit with, what I can only assume, is the newer kit - or most of it.

Dick, what year and area are you after. If it is before 1947,then you have a choice depending on what scheme she had painted on her because then the colour is laid down in RN regs. If you ring Shipmate60, he will give you my phone no.
