Del Many thanks for looking in and the encouragement. So looking forward to getting the last planks in place today so I can move onto the next stage ........ The second planking  Still enjoying the build of this one so far and looking forward to when I can start getting some colours added - that will be the part I enjoy most I think. Happy Modelling

Getting on rather slowly but I guess this should be seen as enjoyment rather than a race I am terrible as I have got older ( can you believe 52 years old tomorrow - I can't  ) as my attention span is aweful. So many other issues at the moment but I just loved this model so much I will get it finished come what may  Happy Modelling

Nice job on the planking and totaly agree it would seem very odd to put the gun port backing in before opening the front facing planking. Jase “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

Jase Many thanks for looking in. There are a few oddities with this one. Just been looking at the instructions for the keel slot that shows 4mm but the supplied parts are 5mm Still nothing too major at the moment and while slow it is coming together now. Happy Modelling

Trev Well all I can say is that is a great school picture you use for your avatar Me old mum of 82 seems to have more life than me. Think I need a good kick into touch as not just feeling me age but someone else's of 93. Had my niece of 19 come over with her mum tonight. Just got her new car and it really aged me to think it was only yesterday I was buying all the pretty dresses and kids toys as you do. Never married ( who would want me ) but just amazed at quickly they seem to grow up these days. Hope all is well with you - thanks for the kind words Happy Modelling
