Hi Fred,
A good start to the build log. There looks to be a lot of detail on the hull moulding. It is worth putting in all the details of how you make it as it helps others when they build this model. I will be following this build. Martin555. ▲

Hi Cashrc
I would just get on with it, as I have found that all in all this is an easy build, OK I have had a some problems with mine, but my one is from 1996 so I would think that today's kits have them all sorted. Just ask if I can be of some help. Fred ▲

Iโll be watching this pretty closely, as I have the same kit half built that I got in a trade, trying to get the nerve up to finish her. Youโre off to a good start!!

Hi Fred,
I think adding the wood cladding will look really good. Martin555. ▲

Things in the wrong place in my mind I believe most of us have put items in the wrong place .Then had to move them or figure a way to get at the item if access is needed.It won't be the first or last time it happens.I think it is what it is.

Hi Nerys
Yes it was in my kit, I would think that Ron has done an upgrade on the kit's of today so it could even be better. Fred ▲

Fred, sheโs coming along nicely. Iโm thinking I might have to start working on mine as my winter project. I think mines an older kit too, but I donโt know how old. The plans were so faded I ordered a new set from Deans.
Iโll need to post some pics of what I have, Iโm not real happy with a couple things that have already been done to her, especially the rudder horn/tiller. Might be okay, but it gives me the heebie-jeebies when I look at it.๐ฎ Cash ▲

Thanks' Guys
Yes I got fed up with just black - grey & red oxide, and as the old eyes are not as good as they were๐ค I went with the Post Office Red and Satin Black for the hull and Humbrol 105 Marine Green Matt for the decks. I am still working on cladding the deck housings, one thing that I am not happy with it that the starring housing has a vac form canopy and it does not look right to me, as we had a garden canopy that came down in one of the storms I may use some of that or an old hanky to make a new canopy. Back in the day when I was deep into Submarines I had an ideaโก of doing a Gato in pink as in the film Operation Petticoat, but at the time the only gato on the market was made by 32nd parallel and the cost was just to much, I now have the 1/72 gato from Revell that I got when it first came out so I just may use that. ▲

Very nice model Fred. I like your colour scheme. Forget all about the rivet counters. I think it is all about what you think. Would look nice in Sky Blue Pink though but I think purple dots might be a little over the top.๐
