It is and the 3d bits as well!!!!!
No instructions and advice on how to tackle either.

I used various saws and blades.

A whole multitude of different skills needed then, including dexterity and patience.
I hope my next is always better

This is quite large for a destroyer - see comparison with HMS Coventry.
The size was to accommodate the Sea Slug missile at the rear,
Excocet missiles added to the front.

Good luck with all that etch, but by now you're a master at it.

I still think a lot of it is too small, and if I missed it off, who would notice?

More progress, hampered by some bits missing, I had to make do with what I could.

More fantastic work. I particularly like the stowed Sea King rotors, great job.
