After a up hill battle, HMS Nelson has left for the scrap yard
This is my first ship for about 45 yrs plus. Thinking about it now, i should have built the Tamiya Fletcher, the Airfix kit is very old, found missing parts, some in bits and others very fragile, and in my case a nightmare to build, it really should be left in Airfix history
I spent most of the time, cleaning, fixing and swearing at the kit lol. I surpose i thought it would a easy build and off to the bath for a shake down cruise, but so much different to a StuG, i should have known better and i have since watched a fair bit on YT, especially Mike Ashey
Even though its no beauty i must thank Ron for all his kind advice, Tim deserves a mention and of course Chris, "another fine mess you got me in to), thanks to you all for support, my god i needed it lol
I will be aproaching KGV from a totally different direction and attitude
Please do not look to close, its poor at the best, i can only improve lol
