BUILDING HMS DARING, TYPE 45 DESTROYER,
Haddock:
Here's the next project. I picked the kit up at Telford at a very attractive price, I don't think it's the most attractive or interesting looking ship but I suppose it should be in a collection of warships for completeness.
I've got the Trumpeter version which is differently engineered than the Airfix offering, according to Peter Hall, their both pretty accurate. IJN Mikasa ain't finished yet but I'm on with the sea which is a slow process so I can make a start on this one. The small picture shows the hangar and one of the boat-decks open.
More info to come later

As always I look forward to seeing your progress.
Kiteman:
The start of another masterpiece.
Haddock:
Progress to date folks. This is going to be a "quick build" so I aren't faffing around detailing the hangar and R.I.B. bays. There's more detail than I thought there would be but it's not too bad to fit, just time consuming. All the brass you can see comes with the kit so it could be that there was no need for the Atlantic Models set, although some of it is nicer than the Trumpeter stuff so I'll probably use it for railings, ladders and safety nets just cos I've got it. The first three shots show the main sub-assemblies, the second three give some idea as to what it could look like when complete, lots more stuff to go on yet.
Haddock.
