Welcome aboard sir I've lost my whistle at the moment so I can't pipe you aboard official there is complimentary rum if Steve hasn't drunk it all yet, there still plenty of room.
Pete.

Hi Pete.
On the last picture you can see the boxes where a small amount of ammo was stored.
For sustained fire the ammo was usually manhandled from the main stores via a human chain.

Thank you Ralph I thought you might know, not the best job while under fire and rough sea, very brave men that's for sure.

Not sure how I've managed to miss this one so far but I'm on board now Pete.

Looks a very detailed kit with plenty of fiddly parts and PE. I see you mention a missing sprue, anything significant that can't be replaced from scratch?
