Bob,
The great work continues. Lovely work with the eyelets.

Many thanks Jim

Cheers Andy, one thing I hate about takom is the large sprue attachments. Even with careful snipping they leave a lot to sand.

Hi Chris, much appreciated.

5.9 inch. Outdated, at a time when battleships were fitting dual purpose secondary batteries. If Bismarck has these he would have been able to use them against the Swordfish??
