Don't forget to paint the SPY and SLQ-32 panels a light gray!

All done at last. And the Spy panels painted a lighter grey, thanks. They do look better













Thanks to everyone who took the time to watch, comment, advise and/or encourage me on this voyage. They were all appreciated.

Cheers

Thanks you Gents for your kind comments. I really enjoyed this first serious ship build (had done a Tamiya Fletcher before but that was a quick & simple build)
Next up in ships will be an Oliver Hazard Perry class for a Group Build on IPMS Ireland starting in early December. Will post it here to.
