    It's funny how you and I run parallel with our up coming projects. I just picked a ship model to build as well. Can't wait to see your work on this one.

    Oh and i think Pola is Pula in Croatia not Italy? But you know the history of the area, was austrian and Italian controlled.
    This is a guess as I mind Pula was aso know as Pola by Italians, remembered from when we visited Pula, major naval base, we were told there were uboat pens there as well.
    u can tell me if I'm wrong if u have time, save me looking it up.

    How's the Mrs. liking the seemingly increasing model stash, Gav?
    I don't know anything about ships, other than they float and make pew pew noises. Seems at that scale, half of your model is photo etch, which I'm always worried I'll mess up half of it trying to bend and glue it, and knock the other half off right after I paint it.

      I am getting down my kit pile i will have three boxes emptied by the end of next week two more not long after then i am building another 1/35 out the stash so she has no complaints marra . Regards Gav.

    Gav, that kit was originally relesed by Trumpeter in 1999 and reboxed by Hobbyboss, Hobbyboss kits are normally packed a lot better, Sure you will do it justice

      Thanks Rick this is only my second ship so i don't have much to go on yet but Stan in the comments said that Hobby Boss and Trumpeter are the same people , And this kit first came out in 1999 . I do think it will be a good base for a build though . And i will have an update on HMS Kent this week . Regards Gav.
