Hi,
My first summer project has just arrived at my workbench: HDMS Absalon 1/700 from NNT.

Hi,
A couple of photos with the decals already in place as well as other details.

https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/742/5pikg2.jpgI used a 0,3mm string from my grand piano to represent the 4x antennas but I didn't like the result.
Instead, I used a 0,12mm harpsichord string.
What do you think about this?
Thanks.

Ayala Botto
