i have not built this model my self, but I would think there would be no real problems that you would come across...
ask the questions..! and we will see if we can answer them..!
what sort of advice are you looking for..?

Hi, I'm also looking for a ton class to start work on but the only one I can find is the Nurton in a decent size, I served on 4 of these Bronington, Lewiston, Shoulton and Northumbria (RNR). So if anyone knows of 1/48 size models of these please let me know

Hi I have built Kirkliston in 1/48 using the Sirmar Semi Kit  for HMS Norton , not sure if it is still available , needed a lot of alteration to minehunter I had to use references from my own photos and memory from serving on her but it turned our well . Photos of my model can be seen on the Solent Model Boat Club website .
