Progress is painfully slow so no pictures to post.      Keep watching this space.

Some progress at last. These dark colours are playing tricks with my eyes. I'm having to fix then paint just so's I can see what I'm doing. Fair way to go yet, lots of small detail to add.

More railings added. I'm not sure that those around the torpedo tubes should actually be there but it looks sensible to me.

Those railings seem a lot chunkier than the delicate bits of brass I'm used to seeing.  Is it just the pictures of are they more 'robust' than some of the others you've done?

It must be a trick of the light, to me they look finer under a coat of paint ( ignore the brush-marks)

What do you mean nine parts? Only nine, you must be slipping.

    Bit more detail added. Ships boats, a poor excuse for a main-mast and some dinky little cranes for manipulating the depth charges. One or two more bits that you can't really see.

Are all those details in with the kit or aftermarket Haddock?
It is becoming a rather impressive beast.

All out of the box except the rails which are just generic stuff. A lot of modelling for thirty quid.
