The aft deck sides are underway...this is a good kit but it does need a bit of help here....

Oh, that's very nicely done. I know this kit well. I used it as the base for a kitbash for one of my Tintin projects. Nice to see how it's SUPPOSED to look. 😉

I would have never considered building this model, but having grown fond of old Heller kits and with the aftermarked pieces you showed and the beautiful result you achieved, I might well reconsider. Very well done.

...of course...there would be something to "think" about and change after the first photo session...the little flag at the top...now trimmed and pointed in the opposite direction...it looks better and might not be pointed the right way this time....but, do i obsess about it and take new photos because the flag is trimmed? only a thoughtful look at this SM business....wait a minute...this ScaleMates business.....could provide answers....on a Saturday night...

Amazing build 👍
Hard to believe they made it across the pond in such a nutshell 😉

Album info
The Heller kit is well made and the aftermarket sails, blocks and deck should make for a challenging project
