Hey Tom
Just a thought, I bought some of John Haynes 4" twin turrets for my cossack and they are amazingly more detailed than the deans offering and require only the tiniest amount of flash removal from the castings.
Well worth the dosh and lack of hassle!

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the photos. The turrets look nice.
I haven't started on my turrets.
What changes did you make?
Thanks!

Hey Oliver, I put some polyester glazing pudy on to square up the corners and fill in the low spots then i will scribe the panel lines. next i will put a gloss clear coat and put some rivet lines i bought from archer fine transfers. there is a good pic of the twin 4.7 mounts on page 35 of the Kellys. lots of rivets!
also did some work up forward in the anchor windless area.

Tommy,
Thats nice work you have put in to your model, so far I am really impressed.
I am going to take my time on my Kelly build and get it all right, I like the idea of the fibre glass bulk heads.

Thanks Dave. yha taking your time is the name of the game with these kits. if yha mess up a part you can just build another one from the extra plastic sheet supplied in the kit. dont be afraid to modify some of the parts some dont fit exactly

exactly Tommy..... never rush it... as mistakes can quickly appear, and i think i modify a fair few of the bits, just to make my model stand out from the crowd..
