About this boat

A challenge that I couldn't get into so finally started.
My stepson bought this and then decided that it was not his forte so now down to me. My wife's father served on Nelson during the war- so no pressure !!. Just installed the prop shafts and now working on the rudder fitting. This will be interesting as the actual location holes aren't lined up. As this is going to be rc,slowly slowly as the saying goes. Kit is Trumpeter, scale 1:200

    Good luck with that sir.
    Trumpeter is known for mistakes and sometimes low quality however I'm sure you can rectify that.
    Very good scale btw; won't look like a toy😉

    Sounds an interesting project. I have been reading similar articles in the magazine lately about corrections and modifications, so look forward to following your build.

    Nelson and Rodney are, by far, my favorite RN battleships! I eagerly await further progress.
