Title: Hms Bristol Type 82 Destroyer 1:96th scale
Post by: type82 on May 18, 2014, 06:25:45 am

Hi this is my 1:96th Hms Bristol, I purchased her a few years ago from a guy in huddersfield and bought her back to Portsmouth. I am just about to start a refurb on her and then build Hms Westminster at 1:96th to go with her.

Nice to see her as she was rather than as she is now

Nice model of a fine looking ship! She is on my list of 'to-do's' in 1/72nd.
Are your plans Jecobin, if so, are they good?
Please post more pics as you refurbish.....internals would also be good. Is the hull bought or scratchbuilt?

Nest project, have some cracking shots taken recently way down in the bowels, hope to built her with the 30mm and 2x 20mm gun decks, did toy with the idea of having her in service a bit longer so could fit phalanx as she was ready to have it if needed.

Alsop hoping to tie the build in with the book on her that I am doing, starting in Sept.

Hi guys thanks for the comments I have joined Portsmouth model boat display team. To learn some skills before attempting the refurb as I do not want to ruin a great model she already is

Hi Stan could you send him my regards and ask him if you can pass on his contacts. Details to me as I have lost them and would be good to get in touch

I had literally hundreds of pics taken on her as she is now.
Shall I have a dig around and see if I can find them.
I used them for close up structure.
And had an interesting day on board.

Hi Littoralcombat


I can make a 1/72nd scale HMS Bristol hull the price would be 140.00 pounds and shipping to Australia would be 30.00 by surface mail.


I just finished the Type 24;

as you can see the longer hulls are supplied in 2 halves with a flange for easy re-assembly.

noticed model has several bilge keels whereas real ship has 1 forward of the three stabilisers, guess its cause its on the Jecobin plan that people include it, several faults on that plan have come to light the more time I spend on board her  :-))
