Papa reacted to ccoyle in Enchantress by Papa - JSC - 1/400 - CARD
This would be a very tempting kit for me if it were offered in 1/250. Sadly, as you no doubt know, JSC publish primarily in 1/400, and their few 1/250 kits are mostly either merchantmen or battleships.

A lot of the work now has to be done with tweezers! The little deckhouse in the tweezers went under the overhang forward of the funnel.

I now have the front superstructure in place. This involved some very tiny structures. One card piece snapped out of my tweezers and ended up in the 4th dimension apparently. Fortunately its absence isn’t noticeable.

I am sure that space is awash with tiny blocks, deadeyes, and other bits

Some of the assemblies are quite small.

The instructions say to apply the hull sides starting at the stern. When I did that the curve at the step in the deck didn’t line up. I had to remove the side, and ruined it in the process. Fortunately there are parts for different versions and I was able to switch to the B version (middle years, I was doing A, as launched). This time I started the sides at the step.

The Enchantress was built at the J. Brown shipyard in Great Britain. Originally designed to be a convoy escort named Bittern, her purpose was changed during construction to an Admiralty Yacht and her name changed to Enchantress. She was launched December 21, 1934 and entered service on April 8, 1935.
This is a card model from JSC and comes in booklet form. The basic kit has laser cut parts to form the hull and I also purchased a laser cut detail set. I separated the pages and put them with the instructions in plastic sleeves. This keeps everything neat makes it more difficult to misplace parts.
