Lovely work Vic!

Thought I'd drop into today with a Phantom'

Phantom FGR.2. 41 Squadron, RAF Coningsby. 1976.

Again a factory fresh build as I don't think this was one of the ex US Navy machines hastily provided to the RAF.

Nice work Vic!

Thought I'd trade my crab fat (RAF) 'cheese cutter' for a matelot (USN) 'dixie cup' and bring up my attempt at duplicating the USS Indianapolis (CA-35). Portland Class Heavy Cruiser.

It was a bit of a complex build with several large sheets of PE, brass fitments including gun barrels both large and small. Needles to say, lots of things went wrong and if you have the A1 eyeball, you'll spot the mistakes over the next few posts.

Very impressive build.

Other than the fact that it's "beached" I don't see any issues so far. Really nice. Makes me want to get back to my unfinished ships.

Fantastic!!!

I'm just imaging the amount of work were spent on those tiny AA and other things ...

Unfortunately, I don't have nerve for those tiny details! Not yet.
