Breathtaking Chris! What a fantastic piece if work! So many details I have managed to miss along the way! Out of interest, why do you show the starboard side?

[adt70hk]

Quite simply outstanding. Simply outstanding. It puts gluing bits of plastic together and slapping on a bit of paint into perspective.

Yet again hats off to you.

HI Jack thanks for the nice comment why do i just show the starboard side in a show well the reason being that that im a left to right person so the bow will be on my left when i put her on a show table an then it conectets up with the stern end on the right of me an it easy for me to fit the hull jiont butter fly nuts as im right handed an all the switchs are on the port side nearest to me so i can switch the eletrics on an off easyier without havin to walk around to the other side of the model in a model show with people lookin at the model but i could show the port side if i wanted to but more awkward for me hows that Jack does that answer your question ?
cheers for lookin in Jack
