H.M.S. Javlin (Destroyer) 1/72 scale Kitshack Kit

As I have a fair bit of spare time this build will not take to long. I am fitting two engines and twin rudders so I will need to make some minor changes to the kit, I will need access to the rudders so will need an access hatch.

Cut some extra balsa out of the stern and now have space for twin rudders with a knife cut access hatch under where the depth charch racks will be.
Hull shaped and to give a smooth finish I have pulled a tights leg through the length of the hull and coated it with 3 coats of resin sanding in between coats.(from the outside you can't tell its wood.) I will add some pics when I can get the camera working
