Nice to see a picture of the real thing Chris, as someone who used to build from plans with a pile of balsa wood I feel your pain, but the end result will be worth all the trouble.

AN HI Andy well i thought id put on another pic of the real ship for the 5th time as unless you go through the whole build its imposselble to find this pic an any newbie lookin in would think well he hasnt put on a pic of what he's building but in the pic its hms blake tigers sister ship but they are mainly the same with just a few small differences an yes the plans are a right headacke as they are so big an i need to consult all 6 plans to get all the veiws of what im trying to build an they are now getting a bit tatty so i'll have to get out the selotape an rejion them all but you are right this ship should turn out a cracker an well worthy of bein the last ship of my twylight yrs lol
CHEERS ATB

HI PaulE SO you also like her with a hangar bay on ? rather than just another gun turret then good on you PaulE But when i looked at the ship when she had a gun turret on the rear she looked just like any others ships of the loads of R/N ships before her so when i see her with a hangar bay on an the weird design of the rear well it was love at first sight lol an i could'nt wait to build her as there is so much scope to make loads of thing work an fit lighting on her well its happening the build is actually happening but as i said at the start that there is so much that can still go wrong so its finger crossed
CHEERS
