Thanks monica ,i'm fairly pleased with how its turned out , although i would have liked to get the rigging a bit tauter but at this scale its virtually impossible just using single lengths , cheers tony

What a wonderful finish you have achieved with this little model.


I think the rigging looks great and the woodgrain on the prop.

Great Job Tony. I fight rigging a 1/48 and you nailed this one at 1/144. Hope your have some eyesight left!


Seriously though great job old chap.
