beefy66 8,077 Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 Well nearly 5 years in the making and I have learnt quite a bit from this build lots of things that I would and should have done differently not quite up to some modellers skills here on BM but think I am slowly getting there or somewhere near. So calling this done will post in RFI soon. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235071207-hms-king-george-v-1350/ beefy 11 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If it comes down to breaks between sessions I'm afraid I can top that. My HMAS Perth II had a break of about 30 years inside it's box, before I decided to continue it. But that model is an Airfix 1/600 Rommel conversion, not in the same league as yours. Again, well done. Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
