If it comes out a bit bright Paul I'll tone it down with a filter

Just been doing a few sub assemblies just for the fun of sticking things together. Had to drill the guns out, that was fun Un wrapped the deck tonight to see what it's all about. Looks like it'll be a nightmare as on the back it has a plastic skin and everything has to be cut out. I thought it would all be pre cut but oh no, that would be too easy. Good job I've got extra build time, I'm gonna need it. Still trying to work out if I can use the base or not

Isn't the basic build the same Ian? I can't imagine Tamiya producing two different kit versions

It is a totally different build Paul. My hull is one piece with the two piece deck sitting straight on top. The premium kit has got a lot of bit to screw on the deck to the hull the basic kit doesn't have these. As my build goes on you will be able to see it builds totally different to the premium

After the deck is on it should be the same but mine hasn't got all the PE
Just been watching youtube and it looks like my deck might be sticky on a carrier film, fingers crossed eh

Hello Marco
Trying to find about a black waterline on this ship, doesn't look like it had one by the photos I've seen on it. It looks like it goes straight from red to grey. Got to make sure before I start painting
