Those kits are quite basic from my recollection. A ship that saw active service on Operation Corporate too.

Thanks Paul

any consolation, i know someone who only does ships, he often works in a smaller scale to this and he often uses pe! got better eye sight than me lol

Got this one started now, the bay is painted and fitted










Also started painting the lower deck and got the hull primed ready for painting










Cleaned up the super structure, and started drilling out the portholes

Nice work so far Ian. These Airfix ships are rather sparse by themselves, but with the PE they should come to life. I've got an old Ajax with WE PE waiting in the wings, so interested to see how you do your PE work.

Looking good Ian.


Used WEM etch quite a lot,and built a fair few of their kit's.

[papa 695]

Pre-shaded and painted the hull, I've tried to make it look like the plating you get but I don't think it's worked out.

[Guest]

I can see what you have done Ian,but it is very faint.


Good try though.

[papa 695]

I've been playing with the PE for this

[flyjoe180]

Nice work Ian. I think the PE will make a big difference to this one.

[papa 695]

Moving slowly along with this one.
