beefy66 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Yes I know another one you are all thinking But while the 466 MTB is taking shape I will be making sure I take my time with it as it is my first resin kit and the high price tag means I do not want to make any mistakes So as an in between build I have just started this old kit I have had in the storage area for some time i managed to get the PE set for it from Peter Hall at Atlantic Models So started with the hull sides and deck and also drilled out the portholes which will be filled with glue and glaze after painting of the hull Beefy 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin56 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Gorgeous Keith, have trying to get hold of one of these for quite a while now. Time to get some pop and munchies and pull up a chair 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 We all expect this one to have a flashing light. Not only that but at the correct intervals as well. No pressure or anything. Martian PS: While you're at it, why not do a diorama with the crew playing a game pf cricket on the Goodwin Sands? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjwomack Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Sadly, the original was lost with some fatalities http://www.kenthistoryforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=18280.0 my attempt went in the bin, though nothing more than pride was lost. If I ever attempt it again, I'll call it Doom Bar 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jb65rams Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Will be watching this with interest, as I have this kit in my stash. Been put off from starting as I don't have proper set of instructions, just a badly photocopied page showing the main assembly stages, no colour call outs. Despite lots of googling, I have been unable to determine deck colour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the deck color will probably be a dark green color the rest will be a bit naughty for me as red and white are not the colors I normally support being Black and White all my life If you need a better copy of the instructions send a PM and I will be able to scan and send them on to you So this has gone from an in between build to an all out diorama and cricket match with flood lights beefy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clipper Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) Have the Frog version alas still sealed, but do have another kit - a different version somewhere. If I come across it, will post the instructions. Don't remember it being very comphresive though.

Ray S Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 If the light is showing at intervals, will the time of it be in scale too? 1 second scaled to 1/110 second? Should be an interesting build! Ray 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billydick Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Going to follow this beefy. Built the Frog version years ago . A couple of years go, I got an obscure Polish boxing of the kit, with the vessel moored in what would appear to be the Norwegian Fjords ! Also no decals (South Goodwin) included in the box. After enquiring with seller, he stated " It says on box that decals arent included' Well everything on the box is in Polish, and even with help of a translator, it says nothing about decals not being included ! Anyway, managed to get the Eastern Express boxing subsequently, with decals. Got the Atlantic Models P/E as well ... BillyD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
