Back again!
Been doing bits here and bits there. Yesterday saw me start on the first raised section of the decks house.
First job; remove the sticky out bits that reach out over the main deck by the AA gun positions...
Not wood planked but steel plate with holes in.
A bit of a clean up and they will do.
I confess the support ribs on the bottom.... They are left off. The parts were just tiny and the instructions very confusing as to which went where.
To others with this kit in the stash, I recommend that you just sand the planking detail away and glue the steel plate thing on top. But mounting a 0.25mm thick PE part that is quite "bendy" at the thin bit is a pain. Then Mount the new edge rail to that...
Today I learned three things.
I need some new CA and fine applicator ( On the way).
I can seriously do with a Clear view/Optivisor/trade name here jobbie. Or new glasses. lol.
Better light.
The other thing I got done today was one of the radar/rangefinder thinggies.
Radar cage is the kit one. The Eduard one was in too many parts... the kit one is two parts! Rails ladders and the flange thing is Eduard. Glue marks are al my own work. lol.
I think I need to wait befor continuing until the new, thinner CA turnes up.
