Hi Ralph,
Very nice but any chance of some slightly closer pictures...only if you fancy it mind, no pressure.
I had this in my Xmas list but the Mrs couldn’t find it (or thought I had too many kits already:smiling5:

I'm absolutely crap at taking pics and this is probably the best I can do.

Very sharp. Water is spot on. What happened to the area where torpedo tubes would normally be, float plane? PaulE

This was just prior to the St Nazaire attack on the drydock gates and I believe most of the ship was stripped of excess weight and made to look like a German destroyer.

Silly me....I was looking on my phone screen, no wonder I couldn’t see much:smiling5: Now I look on my tablet, I can see so much more:thumb2:

Hi Ralph
Very nice indeed. What glue do you use for fixing the railings? Rigging is nice - what do you use?

I love to mess about with weathering and one day I intend to do a complete rust bucket.

Very nice model there Ralph now this is not a critisium but im surprised you dint do her rammed into the dock gates as this is the cambeltown that was loaded with exslosives aint it ? just think you could have had all the german solidgers all running around an fightin the crew as they struggled to get off the ship . I presume that's what happened as im not up to all the story of what happpend but nicely done all the same

Ralph,
A cracking build.

Ralph

very nicely done. This model brings back memories for me since I won the kit in about 1960 for coming in first in the three legged race at my junior school athletics day when I was about 7 years old. I am sure my version was considerably more rudimentary than this fine rendering.
