Completed: HMS Nelson, Airfix

[Defiant911]

After a up hill battle, HMS Nelson has left for the scrap yard

This is my first ship for about 45 yrs plus. Thinking about it now, i should have built the Tamiya Fletcher, the Airfix kit is very old, found missing parts, some in bits and others very fragile, and in my case a nightmare to build, it really should be left in Airfix history

I spent most of the time, cleaning, fixing and swearing at the kit lol. I surpose i thought it would a easy build and off to the bath for a shake down cruise, but so much different to a StuG, i should have known better and i have since watched a fair bit on YT, especially Mike Ashey

Even though its no beauty i must thank Ron for all his kind advice, Tim deserves a mention and of course Chris, "another fine mess you got me in to):tongue-out3:, thanks to you all for support, my god i needed it lol

I will be aproaching KGV from a totally different direction and attitude[ATTACH=CONFIG]n1142726[/ATTACH]

Should have been better but learnt a lot, good and bad. Next test, KGV!

Well you got it sorted and it looks like the Nelson so you did fine. Better than my first attempt.
Look forward to seeing your next floaty thing.
