HMS Bristol painted and transfers added.
I shall use a different colour for the sea, just to please Howard.
This is a suggested mix for Falklands Island sea -
Tamiya XF8 - XF17 - XF2 in the ration 6:3:1.

I presume your sea colour was not south Atlantic enough for Howard......
I hope my next is always better

While the sea dries it is back to the RFA Fort Austin.
Lots of bits of plastic card stuck together, lots of boxes filed and fitted.

A lot of patience there. Like to see all those guide lines to keep it all true.
