gibbo99 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Took a while but it eventually turned up from Ukraine   Shame they got the picture wrong on the box. Looks like Valiant to me 🤔  Not much in the way of parts..    Hull together and a little bit of putty   Rudder and aft plane on and first coat  Doubt this one will take very long 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibbo99 Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 Small update...  Fin and masts all done..  Foreplanes fixed, rather than go for the pivot version and resized the sonar as it was far too big. The Fwd capstan was just a tiny oval with no detail at all.  Stern light and prop done (well until I snapped one of the blades off  ) Waiting for a 3D printed version to arrive    Might just have to start something else as its going to be about 3 weeks for the prop to turn up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibbo99 Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 Decided to repaint this one as it was just too shiny   Will get finished once the 3D prop turns up (maybe tomorrow, as tracking says it's in the UK now) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibbo99 Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 Well, the postman dropped off a nice parcel this morning  (Got a feeling they came from @Woodstock74 but not 100%, if so MANY THANKS  )     Was lucky there was 2 in the package, as the first one I snapped most of the blades off it when I tried to cut off the supports. 1st time using 3D printed parts, so lesson learnt - they are very fragile  Repainted the hull last night, coat of matt on today then the decals on tomorrow hopefully..  Not 100% on the name plate, nothing in the decals for it, so its just a print atm 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So definitely not a Resolution class boat, but the kit inside is fine!  The original photo is on the HMS Courageous Association's website. There are many more photos to find, so recommended! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 15 hours ago, maarten.schonfeld said: it is HMS Courageous. Correct...Gare Loch. I'd like to see these guys produce a Valiant/Churchill Class so I can do my own 'boat'. Â Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
