Looks brilliant mate. Glad ya enjoyed ya holiday. Can I ask why u have decided not to secure the blast bag and Barron to the turret? Is this because they will be easier to paint? CURRENT BUILDS

Hi Sean, yes once the turrets have been painted, I will then assemble the barrels and blast bags. I believe the blast bags will be a different colour, so it is easier to leave them off at this stage Kind regards Mike MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

You're build looks great(as usual)  , but I am surprised with the amount of plastic parts on this model, not sure if it makes a difference to the finished model but I see a lot of people searching for after market product items
