The damage to the kit is worse than I thought - this could take some time to fix!

Hi Barry, I'm looking forward to see your progress. I think it's great that you don't "sink" her in the trash can. good luck

Hi Robert, it will be a challenge to get it looking decent. Hopefully some filler, sanding and describing will get her looking reasonable.

Hi Barry,
SMW Show brill at Telford this weekend - you would love it - as for ship build I see you using as many things as you can find to restore this kit - good effort - while you at it rub your tummy and pat your head at same time - ha

Looking forward to see some photos from Telford. I think I'll be building the Yamato on a budget but wouldn't mind the stick-on decks. It's going quite well, I used the Revell filler, it's mighty powerful stuff! I bought some Vallejo filler yesterday, still to try. As for patting my head, I can't do two things at once, I'm a bloke! Anyway, back to the wet 'n dry paper, for some more rubbing down of those joints!

Hi Barry, don't know if you'd like to use a PE set, but take a look to White Ensign Models PE and Correction Set (new resin funnels) for Trumpeters HMS Belfats kit! Looking forward to your progress on any ship model😉

Thanks, I didn't realise there were aftermarket products already for the Trumpeter kit, I'll check these out!

Thanks Heico, I normally do armour but thought I'd have a go at ships - makes a nice change!
