Hi all, this is my next project.
A Hellenic Navy Fletcher class destroyer. Ex USS Brown DD546, the Hellenic flag was raised in 1962 and wad decomissioned in 1981.
The kit i will use is Trumpeter's 1/350 The Sullivans and a PE set from Tom's modelworks.
The kit is suitable because of the square bridge and the fact that Thyella was one of the two Fletchers that never received any armament upgrades.
So in theory it should be easy....
So the first parts were glued together and naturally putty was in order. The fit isn't that good.
What i want to do, but don't know if i can or should, so i could use some advice from more experienced ship modellers, is the caving effect.
You can see in the pic below what i mean. On Fletchers especially this was a very visible effect. Any input on how to do it would also be appriciated.
