Title: 1/72 Type 42 D87 HMS Newcastle
Post by: adamD98 on May 27, 2016, 05:37:03 pm

Afternoon all, happy bank holiday weekend and all that!

 I thought I'd show what I've been cracking on with, which as the title suggests is my 1/72 Type 42 Destroyer, HMS Newcastle.

I'm quite a way on now but of course there are plenty of things to still do, including the fwd mast and a lot of detailing...anyway, comments and critics alike are welcomed, thanks Jack's and Jennies...
