Hi all. I started this project at the end of January. This is going to be a model of HMS Woodcock at 1/48th scale. HMS Woodcock was a sister shp to HMS Starling, and I have been told, on very good authority, that the two ships were fitted out to the same specifications. So this build is based on the top quality Fleescale hull, with most of the fiitings coming from Barry at Sirmar. So far it has all of the main gun turrets rotating, via the action electronics servomorphs. A working and rotating search light, two sounds, a fog horn and steam whistle, with a six watt amplifer, again from action electronics, a working smoke unit [home made] working navigation lights, as well as lights within the super structure. All of the above functions have been tested and have perfomed witth out any problems. This is going to be a long build, mostly because of the cost, but I will get the fittings from Sirmar as and when I can. A special thanks to Dave Milbourn for the help with the electrics, and to Alan Burgess for the help with the wireless set. Thanks guys.
Phil
