First of all fit another hull plate, one with the black and white stripe, then just 4 bits of etch handrails to glue on the aft superstructure, we also do electronic test on all the mid superstructure, this includes second main turret, all the lights and both radar units, mine all worked as should for now, cheers mick.

Here we just screw the deck on the aft superstructure main part, then screw the aft superstructure to this.its at this point I decided I did not like the colour of the decks so I repainted them with a brown wash, bin alot easier if I'd decided to do this at the beginning, instead of having to do it around everything now. Oh well. I'm going to weather the rest of it now, only lightly, as she not that old when sunk. Cheers mick.

Here we get another hull plate to fix, then it's just a few bits of etch handrails, cheers mick.

Hi sorry forgot to upload pic of boat supports. Cheers mick.

Issue 106
Another busy one this fit another hull plate, add binoculars then make up 2cm flak guns from etch add there bases, then few more bits of splinter protection couple small lockers 2 small pipes to front just behind main turret. Couple more lockers to superstructure sides. Then add the boat supports, had to fiddle with these a bit to get them perfectly level for the catwalk to sit true, I built up the anti aircraft station complete off the model, not doing it bit by bit as instructions, also there is a small locker behind this part which is easier to fit first, then build up the 8 3.7cm guns I painted the barrels on mine gun metal, then 4 go on the aft superstructure and 4 on the bridge section of superstructure, then finally make up the 4 rope coils and fix to deck where shown, that's me caught up again till next time cheers mick.

Looking very good Mick.



Keep it coming.

Fix another hull plate in, then assemble the last 15cm gun and fix this in, then just another rope reel is added to the aft superstructure. Cheers mick.

Issue 110
Here we just assemble the barrels and recoil unit for the 3rd main gun turret. Cheers mick.

Issue 112
First of all we attach another hull plate, add the details to the 3rd main gun turret then add the turret Base and end plate, place the barbette in the aft deck, then put the gun in and fix via the white cog at bottom making sure the arrow on the cog faces aft. Working underneath is a pain with all the details on top. Cheers mick.
