I decided to go with the Type 23 Frigate, HMS Westminster, one of the workhorses of the Royal Navy and probably one of the sexiest looking frigate classes out there. I have PE rails for it and just waiting on a paint drop from Scalehobbyist.  |

Ian, I will counter: I wish I had your plane building skills!
I guess with enough practise, most of us can manage any type of build with great results  ! |

I'm in and tagging along!
That White Ensign stuff is excellent, it was a UK company and easily available here but not anymore after the set up was sold to a US buyer.

We are off and starting with the hull. I got the sonar dome installed and I am working on getting that blended. There are some sink marks on the hull so I am getting those filled and there is a mold line on the center hull that has to go.
