On a lighter note than the thieves populating the Dutch government here is the December 7th update:
Vents and ammo lockers added including a scratch built 20 mm locker that does not obscure the view from the starboard wheelhouse window
Also added the stern smoke generator:

Guess it's better to be living in the 'States, had no problems getting parts from MRC, Italeri's US distributor. They were great, no charges and they couldn't have been more helpful. Al


Thanks Al, we know that the current Dutch government is crap, no need to rub it in Especially our Prime Minister Rotten, sorry, I mean Rutte.
Only thing they haven't taxed yet is a flatulence tax, even drinking water is taxed by these idiots..... Go figure


Sorry Julian, didn't intend to rub salt in an open wound. Too concerned about our own home-grown idiots to pay much attention to overseas politics. On a more important note, great job on the ammo lockers, she's looking "ship-shape and Bristol fashion". Al

Hopefully the government don't impress your boat into the Navy as a cost cutting measure..

We just got rid of our inept idiot government and now people are whinging as the current government are having to make cuts to to the huge overheads introduced by the last pillicks. It is funny listening to people try and blame the current government for stuff-ups caused by the former governments policies.

Oh, by the way, getting back to modelling, looking marvellous Mr Sallows. You could always immigrate over here as a refugee and get everything for nothing.. just throw your passport in the bin as you come up to customs and say you are seeking a new safe home from all your violence and hardship in, say, Iraq or somewhere like that.

We hardly have any armed forces anymore thanks to the "austerity measures"
Thanks for the kind words on the build Warren, I am looking forward to the twin Lewis mounts.

I aint gonna even start on politics but what I will say is there are some truly awesome works of art being built here by you all.

Makes my slow and stuttered work on my PT-490 (Yes Julian I am still working on it) seem dull and not so good but what I see edufercates and inspires me to greater things.

Your sea trials went brilliantly as the photos show. Great build Daniel, I see great problems protecting the channel from your e-boat. Also congratulations on your promotion



The 88 also looks fantastic, i need some free time to add to my builds

Watch your mouth son.. You can't order around a senior officer! Hit the dirt and give me 10.... Hate to think how often I said that or was told that!

Model looks great Daniel, well that is not quite right as it floats and moves under its own power, therefore it is a rela boat.. But I wouldn't go to sea too often or it may just sink..

Cheers

You can run through the Channel but you can no longer hide, night eyes have been added, (along with IFF so that Warren doesn't get muddled up and fire a torpedo at me instead of at S-100's ):



Cheers,
Julian

Something funny going on with adding photos from SlickPic, hope they are not doing a Photobucket on me.................

Daniel,
Your 'shark' is looking good on the water.

Must say the water looks more like the Mediterranean than the English Channel

Cheers Kev
