Is this another Christmas present.
Are you becoming like me and working on several models at once Tony?

Another Xmas prezzy, bought with vouchers.
 Unfortunately, I don't have room to work on more than one model of any reasonable size at a time, as you know, my work-space is a bit cramped so I have to put every-thing away before changing models, bit of a pest.

                Started yesterday, Mon 6th July. It's going to be done OOB, no faffing around doing research, just chuck it together and slosh some paint on, it'l have to be water-lined of course but that's it, no messing.
               Here's some pics of the real thing, plastic to follow.

                       There's some very nice plastic in this kit, I hope the brass is as good. Not long before sub-assy's start to appear ready for painting and plonking in place.

Here's the brass, the small fret comes with the kit, the large one is from Atlantic Models (Peter Hall). At least if I screw up with some of it I have some spares to go at.

Did the brass measure up to your expectations in the end?

Far too early to tell, you don't really find out till you start hacking it up and bashing it around to fit the plastic, then the fun starts.

Here's a bit of brass-bashing, not bad up to now.
