So will you build the bomb as Harvey or Moth? I'd build Lady Nelson as Witch of Endore as he escapes down the Loir and recaptures her. Not sure what details the book has to add details to the build to make her either Harvey or Moth.......

A fine looking model, well done, she is an interesting subject.👍

 

I always fancied building a Granado especially as there is the AotS book on her by Peter Goodwin.

I don't know if the standard of fittings has been improved by Amati, as she is quite an old kit, but I suspect that there are many fittings that could be replaced  with  Syren and Vanguard versions.

The completed Granado build can be seen on the forum.  I have been replacing the blocks in my builds lately with more realistic ones unless already in the kits.  The first time I read about bob ketches was in C.C Forrester's Lord Hornblower where he watches them being used in the baltic states.
