Did a bit this morning, painted the inner gun port bulkheads not that you can tell from the pic also did a shed loads of tidying (filing gun ports square), filling and sanding, I'll keep you up to date as I go.

Gun port linings done both sides done, having a read through the destructions and from what I can gather mast holes to be opened up to align the masts correctly then 3 whales either side next.

The whales are proving tricky with getting the cut outs just so.

Quality work like this will always be slow and fiddly but worth it.

Looking at the paint the Victory is no longer yellow ochre more of a pink salmon colour, actually the colour given to me by the powers that be is Tamiya flat flesh just wondering what you guys think ?? new colour? old colour?

Coming along very well Brian. For me Victory is always best in her yellow stripes.
