ArnoldAmbrose Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Gidday Brian, I did the turret version of this (HMS Leander kit) model about forty-odd years ago. Actually I still have it, minus the entire superstructure. I was toying with the idea of trying to convert the model to HMS Leopard sometime in the future. I have another in the Falkland Is set that I wish to convert to HMAS Swan DE-50. My original was done OOB and neither that or any new builds of it will match yours, with the PE, rigging etc. This is very well done. Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Derbyshire Posted May 3, 2021 Author Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) Greetings Sir Thanks for comments, I think the oz Leanders , DE,s had the ikara in a different position,Mate of mine was in Derwent, so i,ll ask him.I,ve started on a1/700 Rodney but the weapon fit for the period it had a walrus is confusing! making the 1/700 walrus was interesting!@#$, Be lucky. Cheers Brian. Edited May 4, 2021 by Brian Derbyshire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
