well the hanger has a helo in it now, lol not that anyone in a maritime site would care, but i had to, my hands were tied, it has a fairly cheap basic OOB build, and I even left some bits off, the rotors blades were a pain as they were not design to fold like that here is what i am trying to copy (not my photo) the kit my attempt so far.thumb.jpg.bb055a3d4e85e3b915e8c24c1097685f.jpg)

well thats my quota of likes used for the day - lol again i just could not work in 1350, they way you have handled this build is amazing, love the PE set and your attention to detail
-
its a tight fit but looks like it was in real life

Good evening everyone spent quite a bit of time today on the hanger internal details, even though artistic licence applies i am happy with it, especially as when the helo is parked in front of it very little will be seen before being primed i put a cage under the landing primed with Halfords rattle can grey then in Citadel white which is quite a flat white using part of the spruce from the Bismark build, i formed a few water pipes which then were primed in red and added then made a set of hand rails for the landing and placed into its home for the night

today i detailed a few bits, very much artistic licence, but if the rivet counters want to pick me up, LOL it means they have a photo, that being the case I will change it
-
the office has been remade (3rd or 4th time) most likely the 10th just one door and put a desk inside not that you will ever see it and then put a platform in, to see if it looks in scale i taped some of the helo together
-
Good evening everyone the hanger idea did not work for me, when the door is cut the whole superstructure became to flexible, so back to the drawing board the solution I came up with was to make an internal hanger to fit inside the main body this has firm everything up and it is removable helicopter arrived

Popeye she was heavenly converted after being sold to Chile and renamed The Royal navys idea of the side entry hanger, was quite silly, and the conversion allowed her two helo, it was the Seaslug system that dictated the design this had become very outdated very fast the top photo is how she was when i served on her with the Exocet system fitted where B turret used to be before After

one of the reasons for picking the 1/72 version over the smaller 1/96 was the availability of the wessex HAS3 Falklands Helo http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234983812-westland-wessex-has3-falklands-war-172-italeri/

looks like there will be a bit of artist licence in the detailing but I have managed to source these few snaps

lol I knew I had seen it before - just the wrong forum Thank you
-
Sorry Keith I presumed it was a fleetscale hull, they have a lot of builds on their own forum, I am using Jecobin plans,
-
Lovely work keith, have i seen this build on the Fleetscale forum?
-
Popeye this is not my build, but hoping to show you the basic shape from aft you have the radar complex then the hanger which opens out before the after funnel
-

Good evening everyone, just mended my PC by putting a new power supply in, so i can make a post tonight not happy with my first attempt at the superstructure in Plasticard, so last weekend i started again, it is going together much better this time, the problem i am finding is that the plans, for the cost are well poor, i have found lots of mistakes, but the worst part is that some of the lines are as thick as the plastic i am using, so having to be very careful each each cut could be at least 1MM outalso references are not as plentiful as anticipated, on the forward end of the hanger by the doors there are lots of air vents/exhausts, and at present i am unable to work out haw the fitthoroughly enjoying this,Stbd side aft this is where the replenishment at sea rig (RAS) was fitted, but removed at some point around 1980 the offices located in the hanger are to tall, so will have to be adapted/replaced aft of the hanger the RAS rig is the pillar on the right this was created as one piece on the two previous attempts, worked out much better as a seperate module the basics of the after mast has now been made, it is hollow too allow for a motor and wiring as off last night

Jon good evening I changed my job in January this year, and as a result i have less free time on my hands, i finished the Bismarck in June with all intentions of packing up boat building altogether, after discussing it with the admiral it was decided that to give up would be the wrong decission, but to get rid of most of my started but not completed builds that would never be completed. and to purchase a build of my dreams, on the proviso that they are completed Out went the war train, M1070 transporter set Amerigo Vespucci and a few others, (build logs now removed), and that left me with the 1/70 SD14 and 1/72 Hms Victory and my new build the 1/72 HMS Fife the fife takes all my home free time, the SD14 i can take to work and do some work on her at lunch times, and the Victory is on long term hold, as i am still undicided on how to complete her HMS Fife SD14 HMS Victory

yes there is but it is also very relaxing, you can see that one or two bits dont look right, but as more gets added, as there is another deck above this one it all ties in
