This I hope will be the penultimate report on this build.

All the major painting has been completed, and most of the decals have been applied

The last of the decals will be applied once they have dried and hardened from being printed

The upper turret is yet to be fitted and a final light rub down and touch up before applying the numerous ASV aerials which come from the White Ensign set.

I spent last weekend working on the options for the completion of the glazing of the port holes. I received several suggestions and I thank everyone for them.

Joe c a week ago suggested I try Elmer's "washable CLEAR school glue" and after testing against Micro Kristal Clear I have decided to go with the Elmers idea as whilst it take a lot longer to dry it is a lot clearer once it is so some work to be done.

Many thanks

Fred

HyperScale's Group Build Guidelines

The objective of this Group Build is to encourage as many modellers as possible to build their kits and share their progress via words and photos on this Forum.

You are welcome to post general construction tips or relevant reference information and photos to this Forum too.

This Group Build will feature Airfix, Frog and Matchbox kits.

Build as many kits as you like

Conversions, aftermarket and scratchbuilding are all permitted.

Any markings are acceptable.

Document your progress and do a write-up on your build - where did you have trouble, what improvements did you make, what markings did you choose and why? It would be GREAT if everyone would do a writeup and submit it to HyperScale as a Feature Article.
