DaveH: She looks great! I am camouflaging my ship. Hull looks real good! Now working on the aft half of the deck and slowly moving forward to the midship details.

Thank you Brian for your kind comments . She served me well and I must confess I miss her at times on the water . She was also a good learning curve on preparing plastic kits for Radio Control , Ballasting and Watertight Integrity . As for control she was a gem to operate even on a Windy day .

Good luck with your build , looking forward to the finished ship .

Here is a "Flower" that deserves to be modeled.......a GERMAN, x-French incomplete unit. Unfortunately clear pics, or even pics are very scarce. :shock: DFO

Work continues on the model. It is about 80 per cent complete. The foredeck fittings, guns, fire control equipment and masts remain to be completed and fitted.Brian/Annapolis 265
