Might be worth a look, or failing that I could resort to using the box the kit came in, turn it on its side and make a clear window for the front, I know that way it would be the exact size and cost nothing except something to cover the front with - clingfilm etc (isnt that stuff supposed to be able to go taught if heated with a hairdryer - or am I thinking of something else?)

Modern days I think they use amplifiers and it goes out all over the ship, when I lived near a naval base we could hear the commands from a few hundread yards away, mind you sound does carry over water. OC.

Evening all, more work in the same area - I constructed the RDF office and brackets and glued it in place under the searchlight platform, then I was able to glue the platform to the main superstructure, then just a bit of touch up painting. So - the main superstructure is nealy there. OC.

Yap I will drill a few out not all of them just some random ones, I decided to paint first and drill after, saves having to re drill after painting. OC.

Evening all, Firstly a huge thank you to all the interest and follows. A good day today working on the main superstructure, this was assembled using five sections - once it was jigged together and set, I set about painting the two camo colors AP507B/C, I did my normal brush painting routine of doing the first normal thickness then I added several more thinned down coats at roughly 50/50 consistancy. Here are a few pics firstly showing the dry fit of the parts and the un painted superstructure, and a pic of it painted. OC.

I find when working with pe or rigging its one of those - hold my breath times, and if it goes to plan its a just luck, I could do identicle parts requiring pe straight after each other - one could turn out ok and the second one could be wrong or not as good as the first, to me its the stressful part of the build (sometimes).

Evening all, more work today on the bridge areas - first I constructed the main gunnery control system, I firstly fitted the two kit radar sections - then I fiited some pe in the shape of a couple of doors, ladders and two pe radar fronts I then glued it down onto the control section, next I started constucting the two PPD radar devices, these consist of the kit base part with three very delicate pe parts for the top. Then I decided to populate the bridge and ppd decks with a few binocular devices. Note to self - "need to do a bit of a tidy up to the paintwork re -dust" Just a few pics. OC.
