Coming to life now Ian, looks great with some paint on it
Cheers Joe
I’ve now got the flight deck fitted, I only broke two gun barrels, and only needed a little bit of filler for the front end.
This just shows that, with a bit (or a lot) of work, even an ancient kit can turn out pretty good
Only two barrels broke? I'd call that a lucky, 'ahem' break (see what I did there)

Hi Ian, a 1966 kit cannot compare with a later Pitroad kit but you've done a pretty handsome job of it to give the Pitroad a challenge. I do remember making this in my pre teens...1970 and back then it was state of the art. I have the Revell kit with the extras but will need to cut and thin the Island railing structures. They're like the scale of double brick walls.

I’ve now got the deck seams sorted and painted, going to get some gloss on it now ready to paint the deck markings and to keep the paint on the PE .
Now the hull is this far, any thoughts to the weathering, especially below the waterline?
Yes Steve, but that’s going to happen when the building is completed.
Nice paint job Ian
