Hull has been repaired but needs some touch ups. And the masking is off the decks. That didn't come out as bad but still needs little tip up jobs.





All painting from here will be with a good old hairy stick.

So from here it's going to be a 22 shades of grey build....



Starting to prepare all the little bits



The Harpoons require major surgery to fit the PE stands




But they do make a big difference. You can also see the difference between the kit 5" and the White Ensigns resin & metal replacement.

And the RIBs with Atlantic Models PE added



It's slow going but it's still going Buzz.....

Looking over your details is inspiring to build 1/350.  Fine touches like these will add much to final appearance.  :)
