Been calling me for a while but now I have my deck and PE it's time to see what I can make out of it.
I have finished the Hull and have the first two pieces of decking in place and the first turret.

I rather keep that bit off my builds if possible I got nothing against it but I would have buy them as extras

Hi Peter, very nice job!

Can you advise? I too have this one plus pe and wood deck. Does the wooden deck cover the join bettween the decks??

Thanks bob

Does the wooden deck cover the join bettween the decks??

Yes It does the join on my wooden decks join behind the AA guns so are fairly hidden.

Cheers Peter, good to know

I found in amongst my wooden deck some chain so I have added it and started my next turret and adding the pe and that is a tamiya paint for size comparison.

cant you paint them on Peter as they were put on at an angle an in my opion it just made the ship seem more menaceasing which it was in real life but this is my opinon only dont meant to upset anyone

Nearly forgot about this one so I have dragged this out of dry Dock
I have painted all the pe.
And the state of the ship.

 

[peterairfix]

Starting to add some smaller parts and replacement pe.
And the kit supplied catapult will be replaced with pe.
More smaller parts.

Last pictures for the moment as I am waiting for some rigging thread and decals to arrive but here is how it looks.

That is looking very nice indeed. The extras you are waiting for will be the cherry on top Peter.
