Good stuff Wayne

Lovely work so far Wayne!

Thanks for looking Guys, all of the Primary Triple AAA armament has been added to the multiple locations all around the superstructure now, these were very small and plenty of care was taken to get them off the sprues, painted and in place, each is just under 4mm in size, and the barrels are so fine.
Note in the second and third pictures the red circle in the centre, where Rocket Launchers were reported to have been added in place of Searchlights.

Bruce Cockburn would approve. See who gets that joke!

 

[fubar57]

Was he even known outside of Canada?

 

[Gnomey]

Great work so far Wayne!

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Guys, next stage is to add the even smaller Single 25mm AA Guns......

Rocket Launchers? I had no idea she was equipped with them. Beautiful work as always.

 

[Crimea_River]

Hate it when I need to explain a joke.

 

[Wayne Little]

First I've heard of him too.....

Anyway on to the last of the Anti aircraft mounts, the Single 25mm Guns......
10 on the rear deck, 2 in the superstructure and another 12 on the fore deck.

Very pingable. Glad you got them all in with no excitement.

 

[Gnomey]

Looks great so far Wayne!

 

[nuuumannn]

Hate it when I need to explain a joke.

I like the fact that he was given a rocket launcher by the military after this song came out!

 

[soulezoo]

Impressive build Wayne.
