Bit more progress, about 60% done
Added the AA platform, loose rear turrets, boat cradles and small bits of superstructure. Some glue marks due to the blasted shakes, but have touching up anyway.
Strange fit, some parts almost snap fit, no glue needed others the fit is terrible

Many thanks Chris, kind of you, way to go yet before i am happy, but a lot less misstakes. A good few things to improve on and do differently on Graf Spee then KGV

Tad more, started on the railings
Spot the misstake??
Painted the top bits but should have painted the bridge first, one to sort out in the future!
Added some railings, a friend kindly supplied some assorted metal bar cut too size so ideal for doing curves etc
Stopped when i realised the top of the bridge is deck color, bad planning, bugger!
Still practicing on the more complex bits before i use the actual kit railings
