YES Garry it looks spot on very well done indeed an will you be fittin on the saftey nettin ?
Thank you Andrew :thumb2: not to worry.
Yes Chris, that is still to be done, the nightmare of PE :rolling:
HI Garry so you goin to use p/e for the flightdeck nettin well ive never used that as you say its a nightmare so i make my own nettin with steel or brass rod an aircraft alerons hinges an net curtain an when built its very strong an it will fold up or down but up to you on that good luck
an i see you got some block letters that stand out with the ships name ok well done as it look better than just a decal like ive seen some modelers use as your sort are like i use an like on the real ship great modeling

Loving it Garry
I really couldn't justify the cost of brass stanchions delivered to NZ, so had to go with the PE, it will be a real learning curve, but I will do my best :smiling:
Thank you Brian.
YES Garry brass stanchions are really exspensive the why i make my own flight deck nettin

This is really looking good.
Thank you Paul.
This just gets better and better. A really fine job Garry. Love the helicopter.
Chopper really livens things up.
So I've heard ...
Thank you very much Jim
Thanks Paul, every added bit livens things up a bit.
Don't get cocky now Steve.So I've heard ...
Being the newbie I'm playing catch up so = page one and much reading. Looking forward to seeing how you got to where you are now!!
Making me feel old though. Iron Duke wasn't even in service when I left!!!

Well, I'm al caught up. (3 Hours). Well worth the time reading it all. Superb build. Excellent likeness. I can almost smell the grey paint!!!!
There was mention of a something about elephants ass or sonar unit. It is actually a towed array for long range detection of underwater contacts. Probably retro fitted during an upgrade dockyard refit. Which means whe deployed the vessel would be veeerrrrrry Sloooooow!
Digressing. Yup, agree with everyone. Brilliant job - more so considering you hadn't had a crack previously!! As they say in the RN. BZ (Bravo Zulu - well done!)

Bravo Zulu? - a most under-used coding in the Andrew - normally reserved for us and our ilk , and frequently used if I may make so bold (as well you know!) However the build is most excellent!
Steve!
HI Doug yes i was on about the elephants ass as my norfolk had it fitted but garry's shown a pic on his I/D where its not now fitted so look like its been removed

Thank you Steve very kind of you to say so.
