discussion 1.350 HMS DEFENDER

[downscale model art]

doing this build for a guy on ebay who has asked for a type 45 frigate hms defender. im about half way on this one. also got the we photo etch set which im just spraying now. good job too because as this is a so called stealth ship, theres not much detail to it.

Well you called it a mistake, but infact it can be rotated to point any direction, so you could of left it as it was.

Just Google type 45 frigate and have a ganders at the pictures.

thats a valid point mate. when i looked it up on google, they all showed pointing forward. .since researching what colour to paint the flight deck towing vehicle, the photos show it rotated! grrrrgh!
