whitestar12chris Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 PLAN Wuhan project 33G, 1/144 bit of a beast, the flood holes just had to be opened out, or did they LOL. Still going, one hull half done, half the other, mid casing started on one side other to do. Opened and glazed with kristal clear wheelhouse in the sail. Missile tubes done, building OOB with the exception of flood holes etc. All the best Chris 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitestar12chris Posted November 3, 2023 Author Share Posted November 3, 2023 Update on Wuhan, still opening out flood holes. Lower grills didnt work out so had to replace with brass rod. There is a fit issue around the conning tower, when dry fitting i found that if you have the missile launchers raised it fouls the railing so some tweeking to come. Main hull assembled, no filler required. Folding front dive planes mechanism is prone to falling apart. As can be seen a few of the repairs are visible to the missile fairing as when opening holes out it is fragile. Glad im doing this by hand i could see a power tool reeking havoc. 7 days til SMW, is she going to be finished? All the best Chris 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
