The main mast (dryfit), there is probably about the same amount again of detail to go on this piece.

Starting on the bridge superstructure, there is an enormous amount of detail to go but I’ll need to paint if first and add the PE extras afterwards painted off ship . Some of the most detailed features I’ve seen so far on a Trumpy model.

He used to work for Pontos, went out alone. It a strange balance as Micromaster stuff is so damn good but no construction involved so it comes down to how good you can airbrush and weather so it’s not building. (If you design and print your own, Kudos!) theres a handful of world class modellers in this scale online (mostly on Facebook) of which @Koppalakki is right up there with the absolute best like the blokes in the scratch build forum are to us mortals. His Yamato started me on on weathering. I just detest the formats required by some of the other formats needing picture hosting sites which have robbed the world of so much research

So, about 40 pieces each on each of the harpoons, some life raft canisters Other bits, like a ladder, refueling. I wanted to get this section done is it leaves one page of instructions done.

I’ll get to it, it going to need some building up with putty by the look of it. I thought I’d get some little bits of PE done, the RHIB’s

So, it’s called a Transom flap for increasing top speeds and reducing stern flumes. First used 2004.

I can see she has the 3D radar and the stern dog collar for hawsers which are not on The earlier photos.

Thanks, it’s difficult to mail down a year for her in this format, you seem to be all over it. no biggie to add the bit at the back, and the Infini upgrade is amazingly good, I think I’d just need the 3d radar and I could modernise her. She has lovely lines
-
There is an upgrade / modernisation set coming from Atlantic models which includes the 3D radar and upgraded missile but probably not worth the $100 it would cost to modernise it. I’ll stick with the pre version. I won a Zestorer Z25 on the Ebays for $30 (that’s like $15 US) and I’d rather get the Flyhawk for that.
-
I read on another build it is a extension or lip at the stern that impoves flow. I was aware of it and you’ve probably just guilted me into adding it. on a side note, his still from a u tube video shows the welds and oil canning
-
So the Hull is together, the stern area is frustrating as it breaks up the run of the deck. This little area I think is for a towed array but nothing will be visible when the PE goes in. you can see this Type 23 is nicely weathered!
-
I’m planning on an Ark Royal as it has been reissued, but probably not till next year as my aircon died this week and I live on the hottest place on earth (it was 36 yesterday and it’s spring) my new one gets installed next week. So next year then.

Mate, we don’t mention the cost, ever, should someone somehow stumble across it. Sshhh. My next major build will probably cost a Bomb but the secret is to do it in stages so she never knows the real cost.

The more I think of it, once you get the woods deck down it won’t matter, there is a plate that sits at the front anyways.

The catapault replacement is a killer, took me a few days. I suggest you get some super thin plastic card perhaps?
