Started this on playday or whatever we call it now (load of old fogies sticking plastic together).
I didn't intend to go so far but the plastic is very nicely moulded and, with care, it just falls together.
As usual, there are some errors which are easy to put right when you know what they are, there are
quite a few images on t'internet if you are prepared to look. What is bugging me is that the kit depicts
the bridge perched on a number of pillars with a clear space between the bridge deck and the foredeck.
The box art shows the bridge atop a deckhouse and surrounded by a numberof pillars which seems more sensible to me.
How would you connect with the rest of the ship through the space? I'm looking for something that confirms my suspicions so I can
scratch build something which is, hopefully, correct.
The framework that supports the flight deck will be replaced with etched brass. I expect it to take considerably
longer than the plastic item, the result of an afternoons work.
It's going back in the box for a while so I can carry on with Szent Istvan .
Watch this space for now.
Haddock.
