Zvezda 1/350 scale Russian Cruiser Varyag

[Haddock]

I just don't know how Haddock does it and keeps so calm 

Bit like a Swan!!

[MSea]

Calm on the outside , paddling like mad on the inside

First photo etch brass from the set added   Second photo the home made one
Now other than Haddock who will notice 

[zak]

That looks really good.

[MSea]

Thanks Zak -  not as neat and accurate as the etch brass - but will do as long as Haddock only looks at the port side.

Should have kept quiet, now I'll have to look!!

[MSea]

I always expect 100% scrutiny at all times

[MSea]

I can think of another work Chris - but I am too polite to use it - yohohoho - but thanks anyway

Casement guns added to the hull - next job adding all the torpedo net bars, then back on with the etch brass boat davits
