Thanks guys.. I was under the impression that the Attacker was the AVG designate, the, Bogue being CVE... Anyhow, I'll progress and see what I find out as I go.. Thanks for the tips on the armourment, I'll have to look into it further..

This will be my next project, Tamiya's 1/700 Bogue but she will be in Royal Navy livery of HMS Nabob I picked Nabob as she had an interesting history (as all the escort carriers did), she was involved in the operations to attack and sink Turpitz and was torpedoed and managed to limp home, only to be beached until after the war where she was converted to a cargo ship and served for many years in that role. This is my first ship since about 1971.. I was 6, so this will be a bit of a learning curve for me.. Any advice/tips will be welcome....! I'll be having a bit of help from this set that I came across on ebay Some other bits and pieces that I have picked up over time.. the air wing.. And references I've made a start, up to the hanger deck, with a little filling of sink marks on the hull And test fitted the flight deck And a first stab at a sea base...

Nice looking finish... Like it...

Finished this afternoon.. more pictures are here

This is the 1/48 A Smith Auto Model Nubian 6x6 Carmicheal Fire Tender, my first full white metal model.. A "sort of" build thread is here if you're interested..

That is VERY good! Great work and weathering

Very nice, spot on..

Very nice..

Very nice...

Brilliant! Great job...

This was my entry for the Lightning Group Build that, unfortunately, I failed to finish in time. She's made from the Airfix 1/48 F.1/F.2/F.3 with Neomega (and Aeroclub) two seat conversion set and a load of after market stuff… The original GB build thread can be found here if you're interested.. Not the best pictures I'm afraid, having trouble with my lightbooth/setup!

As with Spookytooth, only just caught this thread... Seriously great work, its just taken me 15 minutes to drink in a years worth of work... Brilliant, keep the updates coming...

Coming along nicely Dan, keep it coming...

Very nice, weathering is spot on..

Thanks for the comments and encouragement... I think I'm going to be hard pushed to get this finished for 04 Jan, but hey, we can try..!! She's painted with Alclad and Tamiya.. tried to vary the finish, doesn't show so well in the photo's but looks ok to me...!

Very nice Colin, do you fancy up-scaling it to 48th...?

Nice build, nice paint job and very nice weathering...

Not seen this thread before.. Looks great, very nice detail/etch work..

Very nice Fred, very nice..

Good to see one of these kits as they should be... built!! Too many left in stashes just increasing in value!! Fantastic build, great finish, really beautiful all round..

Beautiful work... nice one

Very interesting build. I have one that i started about 5 tears ago almost at the same stage as you are now... Maybe this is the inspiration to get it out and finish her off.. Great work, keep the updates coming (however small)...

Two weeks work here... Just about ready for paint... And the canopy complete, all six parts of it..

Ditto the live and learn thing!! I had always assumed it had made it to the FAA.... The numbering goes for the Whirlwind as well I think... 1 = RN, 2 = RAF etc...

Its a good day for Wessex... and that is a good Wessex!! Lovely job, always fancied doing a Hong Kong HC.2, I think they had this schema while out there as well.. Beautiful job!
