Binzhou - Type 054A FFG
Many of the bigger parts are slide molded and do not require much assembly... thus this is the result after about 10minutes of unpacking, cutting and dryfitting it all together
Finished the basic parts of the superstructure. As the parts were slidemolded, there were no real issues with alignment. Note that Iused black glue
Stabilizers, screws and shafts were glued in place on the lower hull
It´s photoetch time! The Tetra stuff seems rather nice, although it´s super fiddly
ANother bit of work was finally done today! I glued on some more PE and glued the main superstructure on. I still have to do some filling
The PE-details look quite nice on the missile launchers
Got smoe more progress! Got the sides (more or less) properly sanded.
So more PE has also been fitted. The ship really starts to look quite delicate
Funnel and rear mast
Front mast and bridge area. It´s just missing the bigg radar on top...
Assembly is finsihed. Mayor and minor subassemblies are left removable for easier painting
The bow area is full of rockets, radomes and stuff
PE doors and ladders bring some nice additional detail around the mid section
The main radar has its two main parts tilted slightly aginst each other, making it look rather interesting
And I´ve built a micro-chopper to sit on the helo-deck
Basic painting and washing is done... I still have to paint the stand in black
Approaching the finish-line of this one
Micro-decaling... got to touch up the window-parts though
Final photos of the finished model!
I found out, that I still had the flyer from visting the ship... it made for a nice display option 🙂

Tom B.Thanks 👍 At least everything (kinda) fits on this kit... although I still have to properly sand and fill on the hull

Chan Linice build, and it's fun to know she has ever visited Germany, I have seen her in person as well since she harbors around my town.

Album info
Using Trumpeters 1/700 kit and Tetra Model Works photoetch elements, I am building the Chinese PLAN frigate Binzhou (515) as I had seen her in person at an Open Ship event at the Kieler Woche in Northern Germany in 2018.
