I know I know I know I haven't finished doing the lashings on the small boats but this was far more exciting to do 15cm guns and turrets ... The scheme is yellow upper surfaces but I toned it down to a more green/yellow purely for artistic looks..

slowly getting there-- how come life keeps getting in the way?--doesn't it know I'm trying to build a boat LOL ! I made the small boat flotilla. I am in the process attaching them and then doing the lashings.. If you look close the two most inner boats by the mast are lashed the others are all just placed in position.

I made loads of airfix kits in the 60/70s but not that one. My friends and family laugh, I'm a complete plane nut but only make model ships lol As I never knew anything about the Ar 196 I bought this book. I was very impressed about how capable an aircraft it was.. Thanks for all the likes 😄

OK-confession - so I lost the chain that goes across the rudder on my HMS Vanguard 1/72 whilst moving it to a 'safe' place when the builders arrived-- It came loose so I put it somewhere safe -- so safe i cant find it!!!! What is the link size do I need to order? Any suggestions?
