Hi guys, progress has been slow for a few weeks, some of the reason being I do my modelling in our conseratory, and as our bathroom and toilet has been bodgedly replaced by council contracted workers, and they have been coming in and out, and generally making a mess, I packed my stuff away to save it getting ruined!!!

But anyway, I digress, superstructure and mast completed, aerials (all made from stretched sprue) fitted, and now all primed
