Everything was off the sprues, so that took a little matching and a number of ziplock baggies. Some of the railing stanchions were broken off, so I cut the rest off flush and drilled holes to mount metal wire replacements. Painting instructions are next to useless, so I'm using the 2010 Revell HMS Campbelltown kit instructions.

Installed 0.020" brass rod as uprights for DYI railings today. Wish me luck!

Oh, bother. The DIY railings conflict with the lifeboat davits and braces. And it seemed like it was going so well ...

The decals were REALLY old, and the first one shattered. I'll save the other one for reference and leave her bow bare for now. Just some rigging and flags left to do.
