I got it done with time to spare, which I didn't think I'd manage.
I really enjoyed this one, even the PE elements which were designed for the Airfix kit. They were a little out of scale but I think they really add something to the final model.
I was a little disappointed with the decals. They are quite thick and the reds are out of register.
I learned how to stretch sprue, that cheap drill bits from China are brittle and stabby and to check wheel mounted stance BEFORE painting.
Overall I am happy with the outcome and she looks the part in my growing Royal Navy collection.
Thanks to Si & Steve for allowing me to participate in their GB and giving me the motivation to get on with it!
