Been a while since my last update. Frankly the camoflage painting nearly caused me to chuck the whole thing in the bin !!!!
On the forward superstructure I had to strip off all of the railing I had glued to the sides as I simply could not get any straight lines. This was a real pain as i couldnt get the studs out and had to sand the whole thing back to the plastic and start again.
When I fiited the funnel structure over the plan I found that the side sponsons carrying the range finders were almost double the dimesions they should have been and the 105mm twin mounts did not fit on the deck space so had to strip all the handrail off and re model them. Not happy !!!
Fortunately the hangar proved to be my saviour and i was able to progress this without any changes.
Well
Here is progress to date which is almost exactly where I was 2 weeks ago
hangar structure is substantially complete
Just waiting for all the minor armaments to arrive with other deck fittings to crack on with superdetailing now. Hopefully they will inspire me to go to the next stage.
