Very cool Bob. I've heard good things about that kit and it'll be interesting seeing you tackle it.

Thanks Glenn ,the details this kit has is more in line with larger scales although the plans are messy to follow due to so many parts

thanks for tidying the post Wojtek

No problem Bob. A good choice and we can compare your model with Boats' one.

Should be a good one Bob. The one thing that irritates me slightly with current Revell kits are the instructions - they're not very clear, can often be rather 'crowded', and sometimes incorrect in the part numbering or sequence. But, for their quality and very reasonable prices, I can live with that!

pics of progress so far showing the internal details being fitted,this is going to take ages to do with all the small parts,hope you like it

Nice entry Bob, hope you can find time to get it done, it'll be nice to watch it coming together.

Terry, it's not only Revell who have instruction problems, in the last three kits I've put together, Tamiya and Pro Modeller, each has had something indicated wrongly, such as fitting, wrongly numbered etc. They obviously outsource this sort of stuff and none of the editors/proof readers are modellers.

Great progress Bob. I hope the top turret is better sized on the model then it is in the box art. It looks half again too big in that painting.

Not wasting any time here! Quick work and nice details.
