Issue 28
Here we extend the hull with another plate,attach various parts to the forward bridge deck,and install the navigation lights.do not cut off the clear long tab to the navigation light as this is needed to reach the bulb, previously installed,they fit in with this clear tab at the same angle as the pins on the navigation light holders.sorry not many pics of this stage as my phone seems to have dumped some of them. Cheers mick.

Issue 29
Here we get the bridge deck and lower mast deck,plus bits of decking and the bridge light and bulb to install, plus couple of guard houses to fit to bridge deck.Tony you asked me what I thought of the wooden decks parts,to me they are nicely moulded but bit all same colour, so I gave mine a brown wash just to bring the detail out a bit.then screw these 3 parts together. Cheers mick

Taking shape really nicely Mick.

Here we attach another hull plate, then glue on the 2 liferafts the yellow bits,glue on vent to the rear on forward superstructure, glue 2 hatches to the deck,glue 2 bits to front of bridge,add 2 more small vents,add the 4 etch guard rails to protect the navigation lights, a few etch ladders,and the small etch platform on one side,the etch is thick,and don't come off the etch frame easily, I weakened the tabs with me dremmel tool first, then cut through with knife, cheers mick.

Issue 34
Some small fiddly parts on this one,first of all we glue in 6 lockers 3 each side to the radar control centre, then glue in the 2 radar arms to the radar unit,then put in the 3 gears for the radar, then attach the motor from the previous issue,then it's glue on the 3 etch handrails to the radar,then 2 etch ladders to the control centre, a further 2 etch ladders are added to the forward superstructure behind the rangefinders, then glue on the radar antenna and screw on the radar Base to top of control centre, then it's glue on the small details on the roof of the control centre and radar, then finally glue the radar on top,that's it for now, thanks to all who looked in and left comments much appreciated. Mick.

All looking good and nice work Mick

Coming together well Mick

Issue 35
Here we add all the parts left over from issue 34,I had already fitted the control centre previously, it's a tight push fit so I left it in place while fitting in the new bits,we then fix the superstructure deck,to the bridge deck then fit another hull plate and make up the next bit of stand.

Issue 37
First of all we attach another hull plate, then assemble the radar gearbox, fix the top on this,and add the foretop command post attachment to the rear face of radar, also the motor is fixed in place cheers mick.
