[Chris Hewitt]

This kit comes with lots of problems.I wish, I could start a again,however we must say, that a lot with your models and l found this superb link, only after I had finished Kent. There are plenty of photo,s of the County class on the net,here are a couple.

Items to overcome with the kit.

1 Plastic soft and brittle.

2 Gap between B turret and Bridge to big.

3 The difference in the class between Batch 1 and 2,even the rear mast was position different within the batches.

Lovely job old bean! I remember the Kent when it was in Pompey back in '89 prior to becoming what the Bristol is now.

What a fantastic transformation from the rough and ready original kit. Despite the issues discovered along the way you should be very proud of what you have achieved!

 

Thank you for sharing the links too.

I am very impressed, personally I probably can't see half of the details in real.

That is superb Chewitt, I cannot believe it is only 1/600 scale.

 

It amazes me how they ever got the Wessex in and out of that hangar,

 

cheers,  adey
