PLAN Type 051C
I carved out the bridge windows and fitted some tinted windows (IC component bags)
This is not a drill! Bridge is lit with a soft glow of red LEDs diffused with translucent model clay
Basic assembly complete..
I realise now that the decals are not accurate to the actual white-on-black currently sported by DDG-115
Greeblies and aerials copied from some reference photos... at 1:350, the ship really demands more detail than is provided by the kit and standard photoetch.
It could still do with a bit more detailing, and I've been thinking about placing it in a seascape

thanks Jv. tbh, I think this one convinced me that 1:350 not really my scale - too much blank canvas and standard level of detail even with PE is far from convincing, so quite a big job to fill the gap. I can see myself returning to this build to add detail and weathering over the next year+(!). But in the meantime I think I'll be retreating back to 1:700😉
