Aginvicta Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 The two models I have been building are both on hold at the moment due to me loosing interest in them because they seem to be taking ages to complete. I decided when I returned from holiday to build something a bit smaller and maybe i could finish something. I read the review of IBG Models' Hunt class destroyer escort in 1/700 scale and decided to have a go at building one. It's a great little kit, very good detail, a small amount of photoetch and clear easy to follow instructions. It's taken me about 3 weeks to complete, the paint scheme took a while, but it was a very enjoyable little project and it's put in the mood to try and finish my Gneisenau build.

dfqweofekwpeweiop4 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Good effort there. Did you not use the etch radar for the director? The kit does also miss off the masthead radar (I have the Middleton) from the etch set, otherwise they do look like good kits. thanks Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there extra etch available because I am tempted to get another one of their kits? Thanks for your comments Like it!

Mark4700 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Love it. A model of HMS Badsworth and guess where I live....... Badsworth. Never knew the ship existed. Research time, was it named after my village? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark4700 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 A bit of quick research. It was named after a Yorkshire fox hunt The Badsworth Hunt, which in turn was named after our village because, well that's where the hunt was based. So that's near enough for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
