I agree. You've got the knack of getting that small scale PE on neatly. 8-)

Great work Tom, I'd say it's been well worth the effort fiddling with the PE, this is getting better and better 8-)

Thanks everyone :-D Thought it was worth catching you all up on the other little builds going on around my bench.

The Revell Warrior has its tracks on (at last :twisted: ) and its green paint coat done:

And my little 1/700 submarine fleet is growing exponentially:

I haven't forgotten about the Kalinin, just need to be in the right mood to play with P/E :ha: I have painted the props though so at leas a little progress has been made.

The Warrior looks cracking Tom and I see you've cornered the market in very black submarines :lol:

Is the Typhoon a Hobbyboss kit? It seems to be the correct shape which isn't the case with many kits of the type.

It is indeed Darryl as is the Akula. The Trafalgar class is a Dragon/Pitroad kit.

I know they were known as 'sneaky boats' but I wasn't expecting this to surface on my bench today:
