Great work Martin.

Can I ask what colour ref you have/used as I have the Kombrig 1/700 scale kit and have had a problem finding the exact scheme for the Falklands battle. I also need a bit more practice with the pe before I tackle this sort of project.

The usual excellence Martin. What is sad though is that on a resin kit which should be the cat's meow as they are so costly, that you had so much scratch building to do. And looking at the fellas on the other site already tearing apart Trumpy's Massachussets at 1/4 the cost.

A great job Martin, very fine looking model of the old girl.

cheers

Thanks guys - appreciate the kind words!!

Luciano,

I used White Ensign's RN Light Grey, 507C. The turret tops are Dark Grey 507A and the forward superstructure decks are corticene, which is a linoleum.




Steve,

While the resin kits are pricy, most of them will never see the light of day as an injection molded kit, so I don't mind forking out the cash (my wife, on the other hand...) But yeah, it was annoying to have to fix so many issues, but I like a challenge!! It was fun doing the research on her as well - that's a part of the build that I really enjoy.

Thanks for your reply Martin.
