Evening all, more work continues with the Conning tower fixtures - there are several sections of handrails to go on, but as they are 0.11mm by 1.2mm tall - handling them let alone fitting them is a trial in itself, the PE ladders are childs play by comparison. Erk. -

Hi there all, not anything drastic as I am pregressing with my little hood slowly - trying not rush her, so basicaly just awee bit of detail on the conning tower and dry fitting a few of her levels. Erk. -

Hi all, so more work has been continuing - I have started work on the base of the conning tower, its a one piece section with lots of sub assemblies fitted to it starting with the PE stairs then a centre fitting, then the side davits and floats also some what I assume are wind breaks, also couple of paravanes were glued in place. Next job was to fit the flag cases, then another tiny deck building - followed by Two vent units and the Two direction finder masts, oh and a centre mast was glued in place, they still need some clean up to remove a few blemishes from where I cut them from the sprues. The main assembly is just dry fitted as It will be primed and airbrushed first before I hand paint the floor in Corticene. Erk. -
Thank you Rob. Erk.

Thank you kindly David, she sure was a lucky ship - couldn't get over when she was bombed Three in total - one nealy took her radar out, the other missed her torpedo bulge and one went right through her next to her funnel went through one of her engine rooms and clear through her bottom hull - but she still limped into port. Amazing ship. Erk.
