Evening all, nothing much to note - I have brush primed both forward mounts went on in Two very thin brushes - it just dry down by shrinking to the surface, I will most likely get my airbrush out later to spray the top coat/s. OC.

Did a bit more reading on Hoods fatal encounter with Bismarck and Prince Eugen, and found out Hood received atleat Three shots to her - one was a HE round from Prince Eugen that landed on the rear of the boat deck near to the main mast and made the 4in ready ammo lockers go off, a fire started but as the ammo cooking and going off everywhere crew was told to take cover, these fires and exploding ammo did stop after a while, the next one was a AP round from Bismarck that came down through the roof (as they were all using lunging shots due to the 12 + mile range) it went straight through the Spotting Top enclosure and came out the other side before going into the water, this killed all who were in there and knocked out the 284 radar. The last one that hit was the killer we all know about from Bismarck - going through the deck close the main mast ingniting the ammo and causing that Massive explosion that killed her. OC.

Oh nearly foregot - I still have to add another cross spar and paint the legs Black. OC.

Evening all, so work on this has started again, - started by painting some of the small item like vents, then the next thing to be built was the front coning tower look out mast and legs - very fiddly and akward to get them lined up, after an hour or so I gave it a coat of paint and a bit of wash to show the windows. OC.
