HMS Yarmouth F101 Frigate 1/700

[haneto]

Happy new year to every one and all the best to you and your family.

 

This is 1 of the last 2 works I finished in 2020(actually finished before midnight yesterday!).

This full resin kit is released by a Chinese local small brand called Ostritch Model, which their boss sent me as a gift in this summer contest.

So I built it with sea sailing scheme which is my very first time.

It's really small model but I tried to catch some feeling and restore experience for sea sailing effect.

 

 

Thanks for watching!

Another fantastic model, to capture that amount of detail in 1/700 is just mind blowing. Great presentation with the seascape too. 

[Plasticbasher]

That is just fantastic work, as is your HMS Chatham. Such impeccable workmanship and in 1/700!

[Courageous]

Lovly work of a lovely subject.

Beautiful model, looks very nice on its base.

Superb build, a ship I visited as a teenager while I was a sea cadet 

[swralph]

This is a great build.😀

[Chris Hewitt]

Good to see this kit built ,superb ,like the sea display, does so well together.finishes it off perfectly.

What a beautiful Kit, an absolutely great build, I'd love to build one of the old Leander's, but as you know, no one is manufacturing a 1/350 scale version, I think the biggest is an old 1/600 scale that Airfix did, brilliant finish

Atlantic Models do a series of 1/350 Leanders, they are mixed media kits with the main parts in resin and smaller parts in either white metal or photo etch, there are 3 versions available the original 4.5" gun, an Ikara version and later Sea Wolf and Exocet armed versions. 

 

Whilst expensive compared to your average injection moulded kit, they are also a lot more detailed and contain everything you need except adhesives, paint and a whole lot of patience to produce a detailed miniature ship.

Thank so much for the information, I'll talk nice to the wife, that's me found another couple of Kits I'd really like to have a go at, HMS Amethyst, my Dad told me his Cousin was on her, plus the fact I think Richard Todd did a good job in the Film, which I have on DVD, and the Leander I'd really want is HMS Phoebe F42, ever since I saw her on the BBC Warship series, I just thought Phoebe special, and I managed to get aboard as a Sea Cadet one time when she was in Portsmouth

 

Thank You so much for letting me kniow, it really is appreciated

Hi Fred,

 

My great Uncle was also on HMS Amethyst, I'm just waiting for Peter at Atlantic to get new stock in myself.

 

The Leanders are great kits I've got one of Peter's HMS Cleopatra in the stash, along with a Glamorgan, Puma and Hurworth, trouble is he has so many great kits and my wallet just cant keep up 🤣

 

Happy modelling

Ant

This is a very finely finished production of this classic RN frigate. The clean build and subtle weathering are very good, particularly in this scale.
