Hi Smoover

Here's my first attempt at using photo-etch also my first attempt at water, or in this case a sea-scape. I always felt that water-line ship models look better as water-line as that's the way we usually see them.

While Airfix 600 scale kits where great especially the later ones, some of the earlier ones where a bit iffy. So here's my effort with the suburb HMS Manxman together with the some-what plain HMS Campbelltown plus the WEM photo-etch set in a fictitious meeting some were the the Bay of Biscay. I must admit the P-E really brings these models up to far more acceptable standard.

Good luck with the rigging etc. and it would be great to see the finished model.

keep them coming & remember we do this for fun. John the Pom

Thanks Ratch.

I did do a posting on these model and the build some time ago but when last checked it was still sans photos
