  1. This afternoon I was crossing the Dover strait on my ship and witnessed a nice piece of shadowing or harassment depending on your politics. A Russian Admiral Grigorovich class frigate (Pennant 751) was being escorted by HMS St Albans (Type 23) (Pennant F83) and what looked like (but was a long way away) an Oliver Hazard Perry Class Frigate of the Polish Navy. The long & the short of it was F83 repeatedly requested that the Russian Frigate reported in to CALDOVREP until she reluctantly did give her speed and position and number on VHF Ch11. All looked a bit 'cold war-ish'. Got a really good look at F83 & 751 though binoculars but too far from the OHP to get a read of her number. Alas too far for pictures with my iPhone! Make a nice waterline diorama though!
  2. USS Oliver Hazard Perry Eduard 1:350 The Academy Oliver Hazard Perry has been out for quite a while now and since the Premium Edition is no longer widely accessible, Eduard have now released an etched set for it. The single large sheet contains parts for the whole ship, but is mostly taken up with the various railings and flight deck netting. Starting from the bow, there are new bow mounted breakwater supports, hawse pipe grille, hatches and fittings for the missile launcher base. Moving aft to eh superstructure there are new vertical ladders, flag lockers, RHIB cradles and launch davits, funnel mounted intake grilles, radar supports, and Phalanx mounting details. The large AN/SPS-49 radar array is a complex set of etched parts which will need some careful shaping and gluing. The other radars are provided with additional etched parts, whilst the satnav array is completely replaced. The main mast is fitted with all new platform supports and undersides along with their railings. The RHIB is provided with a replacement engine casing and new steering wheel, as well as a new transom. The Seahawk helicopter can be made with the addition of folded or spread main rotor blades, and comes with additional detail in the form of tail wheel scissor link, tail rotor and its pitch controls, and a small tail mounted panel. Conclusion Definitely as set aimed at those unfortunate enough not to have the Premium Edition kit, this set will add plenty of extra detail to the standard kit, that it really does need. It’s quite a simple set all in all, so would make a good starting point for those modellers entering the world of etch for the first time. Very highly recommended. Review sample courtesy of
