Guest Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Something that has as never looked right, is the space between the bridge and B turret,getting closer to parts becoming more permanent,had to bit the bullet and correct it. If left as it was. With the correction ,looks right. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul E Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I see what you mean about the position of the forward superstructure with relation to B turret. And although your correction looks better I get the feeling that the space between the forward and aft superstructure is now not right. Do you have a copy of the Jecobin plans for the County Class? I get the feeling that the dimensions of the original Airfix kit superstructures are not correct which would not be surprising. Your model looks good though and you have done a good job with an old and rudimentary kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Aris Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 If you want some measurments i have a set of jecobin plans in 1/72 scale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Thanks for the offer,l will close the gap,however ,the more l got into the build,the more l realised the ship that airfix produce its all wrong. Hull too long,the gap with B turret,the rear funnel too low. Also the rear mast is fitted on the forward structure on some and others on the rear.l will probably have to buy Peter's superb model.l will finish Kent. Not prefect,but fun especially at model shows were folk can't believe it's an Airfix kit ,made good . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
