The Hospital ship has been undercoated.

Meanwhile, I have made a start on HMS Andromeda, a Leander Class Frigate from Starling models, lots of tiny 3D printed parts and etched brass.
The progress, so far.

Bulkhead made and fitted, I even marked out the door! A piece of 10 thou was added to the back of the cockpit floor to represent the wing spar also. To fit the rear gunners seat I used some Evergreen strip to represent a fuselage spar, mirroring this on the opposite fuselage half. Digging through the spares box I found some bombs, first built around 60yrs ago, attached to the correct cradle so these and two others were quickly cleaned up and repainted before fitting. I didn't spend too much time on these as they will be mostly hidden once the fuselage is joined up.

All the decals now on, that's about 10hrs work. As stated previously some would grab straight away but then move if you breathed on them. A few more broke prior to fitting. More setting solution applied and once dry I'll add a coat of Klear then do the paint touch-ups needed, that way I shouldn't get any more movement when holding the model.

Quote from: zak on June 04, 2026, 04:37:34 PMThis is a Hecla Class Survey/Hospital ship.
Three of this class went to the Falklands, HMS Hecla, HMS Herald and HMS Hectate.
Will I build three or just one?

Scratch built.


I wouldn't be surprised if three don't appear from the Bempton dockyards.
