good afternoon, apologies for not getting back recently to the builds that i follow, Real life keeps getting in the way i have sorted the two missing gun port problems out, and the lids are kind of ok, bit the fds lower deck one does not follow the shape of the hull very well - ie it is flat where as the hull is curved, they still need to be touched up the two after fenders are in - bit of a pain to get right, - i should off perhaps done it a lot earlier
