Started this one this weekend. First time for placing railings etc... Kit seems ok, the etched railings need some scraping, because they have some burrs from the etching process

some small progress yesterday, adding more detail. Think I'll need to apply some paint first before continuing... looks like an opposite world to me... connecting the small PE-parts together works for me more easy using the soldering iron then glue...

Thx Ingo and Patrick.
Patrick, the machete is just for cutting the attachment points 😉

Some progress. Most details have been added, with exception of those I think I won't be able to reach for painting...

Added some handrail on top of the steering house and the tube for watercoolant to the barrel of the 100mm gun. Paint is on the main parts, looks pretty dull now, but few other colors need to be applied. These ships are pretty uniform, and also pretty new, so not that much weathering. Also noticed that the platform for the CIWS needs another coat.

Rigging is on... let me know what you think. A small touch up needs to be done to the paintwork. It worked fine with the superglue, but then there's that moment that everything sticks to the glue except the wire...
