Didn't mean to make you feel guilty either. I'd also be keen to see an R come together too, I've long liked the look of them, no pressure mind.

beefy66 Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share Posted August 21, 2021 Small update from a very wet North East England part of my penance for even thinking about having a break from this build. Stay Safe beefy 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy66 Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share Posted August 22, 2021 Todays update starboard side scuttles fitted and some railings and the bridge supports and ladders. Stay Safe beefy 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy66 Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 Put a coat of primer on the hull to see where it needs any clean up and added more rails and ladders to the aft structure I think this is the wardroom area.

beefy66 Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 Been looking at the instructions for the aircraft catapult do any of you fine gentlemen know if these would be a standard fit for all RN cruisers or would they be different for each ship.

Stay Safe beefy I'm assuming they were the same depending on the aircraft carried, but I really don't know for sure. beefy, here's a link to a nice video fo keep you entertained while you wait for the answer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dmNyts7f1w John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adm Lord De Univers Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 No idea sorry Beefy, but just to say those railings (and the rest of the pe) are looking most splendid! David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay Safe beefy I wondered the same thing Beefy wheni built Kent. I searched for any etch offerings but could find none. I like the covered railings. all looking very fine indeed Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Our Ned Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 In response to Beefy's query about the catapults fitted on cruisers, there were several types. In particular, York completed without one, and was then fitted with an EIIH catapult (where "E" stood for "Extending", and "H" for "heavy" (ie the weight of aircraft it could launch)). This was replaced later by an SIH ("S" for "Sliding"). Exeter carried two SIH catapults in later life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that info Ned that is what I was hoping for as an answer the reason being that I am using the Exeter PE sets which look a lot better than the kit offering so the PE one will be built up tomorrow night. 👍 Stay Safe beefy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy66 Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 So after some little fiddly stuff got stuck together we end up with these the kit offering and the WEM PE it has the extendable sections. Also made a start on the hull paint black under coat which gives me the boot line and the lower hull to show some weathering i have used desert yellow and Israeli sand from Vallejo must of which will not be seen.

Hi and yes all well I am just about to complete the BYMS my first commission build but that to has been slow going as real life family matters has taken up a lot of my time the past few month hope to get back to this build when I have finished my Gorleston build which is not far off being completed as well so maybe in August I will re-start York. Thanks for the KUTA on this one. Stay Safe beefy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefy66 Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 Well Gorleston is nearly done just waiting for the base layers to dry out so thought I had better blow the dust and cobwebs from this lady. After figuring out where I was in the build I settled on the hull painting and masking for the camo 507A first then the masking.
