The kit was built over a period of nine weeks I also added an Eduard set mainly because I wanted the extra detail on such a large model which is 550mm long and 100mm wide it's built to 350 scale


The quality of this kit is outstanding better than tamiya dare I say


The model was finished with tamiya primer and acrylics shot through a badger renegade then after decals a thin coat of Vallejo Matt was applied hear and there rust was done with AK rust set


The aircraft were quite tricky as they are moulded from clear styrene I did add some scratch built trolies for the torpedoes and the pitot tube on the avengers


I also ordered some extra crew figures but I have run out of patience waiting for them to arrive must be on shore leave somewhere :smiling3: so the kit supplied 18 crew will have to do for now


Got to say I do like aircraft and ships so this was a good build for me despite Dragons appalling instructions which marr a superb kit fit wise

Looks fantastic Roger, never trust a matelot, he's bound to be ashore getting lashed up
