Thankyou guys for the comments, quite overwhelming OK I started this exactly 8 years ago First model I have ever attempted, so I learnt a lot! (and there were a lot of mistakes!) Ply wood frames, balsa strips , sanded, bogged, sanded, fiberglass, flow coat, and weeks and weeks of sanding by hand I followed a rough rule of building everything in the structure with styrene, from scratch As a learning thing, the ammo boxes were moulded She is 12 feet long approximately, but unfortunately 3 inches too long for scale accuracy, a mistake from converting the 1/100 scale plans to 1/72, but you live and learn The gun directors move individually, and main armament follows them 4 motors, 4 motorbike batteries, 2 individual radio control systems... and 120 KG of removable ballast Again, thanks for the comments, both here and in the AAR, you guys really are the friendliest people ever For any Aussies, in Sydney, weather permitting, she debuts at Hubertus Country club September 5th Its a great club, come and share a sausage!
