Looks like the type 271 surface search radar housing? Fitted to escort ships...made of Perspex though, not metal...
HMS Aurora (1945); Flyhawk 1:700

Hi Tim, thanks...now wonder it's so covered up in a cylindrical cage.
Cheers,

Yep, fitted directly above the radar room ‘coz they hadn’t worked out how to make longer cables yet....
She is looking very nice indeed Sebastijan
My spiders have been busy for the past few days and I'm calling the rigging done. Probably not entirely accurate as I had no rigging diagram and I had to rely on a few low-res historical photos of Arethusa class cruisers and box artwork.
Next step - #fixthatshit ; removing "battle" damage that happened during rigging, some touch-ups, some further weathering and adding Royal Navy flags.

Hi Seb
The spiders have done a great job. Rigging is always tricky. This looks very good.

Thanks Seb, I’ll file that under “will be useful if I ever make a boat” :thumb2:
You're welcome! Also really useful for any kind of aircraft rigging - from biplanes to wire antennas.
That's looking great Seb, very nice.
Looking fantastic Sebastijan
