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.

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.

Issue 30 Here we get another hull plate, and the first rangefinder, just pay attention to direction of parts on rangefinder as can easily be but on wrong way around. If in doubt put it on superstructure before you glue the top on, finally few shots what we have so far,till me next parts arrive that's it for now.cheers mick. mogwai attached the following image(s): Builds hms victory, suzuki gsx 1300 R hayabusa, honda C B 750, lamborghini countach L P 500 S, tamiya 1/16 rc full option tiger 1 tank, built, Mclaren M P 4 - 23.

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.

Hi thanks to all who looked in and left comments much appreciated 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. mogwai attached the following image(s): Builds hms victory, suzuki gsx 1300 R hayabusa, honda C B 750, lamborghini countach L P 500 S, tamiya 1/16 rc full option tiger 1 tank, built, Mclaren M P 4 - 23.

Issue 38 First of all we attach another hull plate, then glue the bit of decking into the foretop command post gallery, next I glued in the 3 small parts on the roof of the previous assembled radar,easier to do these now than when the rangefinder arms get in the way, next fix the 2 rangefinder sockets to the radar,then glue in the rangefinder arms paying attention to the way they face,and note the 2 holes in them need to be on top,the instructions fail to mention these holes,then glue on the door and lockers to the back of unit,then glue the radar unit to the gallery that's it for now, cheers mick. mogwai attached the following image(s): Builds hms victory, suzuki gsx 1300 R hayabusa, honda C B 750, lamborghini countach L P 500 S, tamiya 1/16 rc full option tiger 1 tank, built, Mclaren M P 4 - 23.
