my second attempt at this, came our reasonably well.my errors are obvious,trying to make this inexpensive model historically correct is difficult and not worth the effort at this time.The prop is the wrong finish but I think it looks pretty good anyway I used Alclad paints and windsor newton oils with japan drier.

Some real fine work on the wood areas and the rigging. But the Vickers Machine Gun is upside down.

no wonder that was so hard to balance and glue,I think I can fix that. I used your method for the rigging.
