The Dumas is 1/96 scale. I bought the kit at my LHS. (I paid too much for it, but it was right there and I figured it's good to support the LHS) Since they didn't shelve the running hardware, I ordered it from Tower. I'm going with the twin screw/rudder configuration. I'll likely order HR deck hardware from Floating Drydock. |

Well do keep me/us updated with the build progress. I did a search and ordered one from Hobbylinc it was priced good so hey First Mulit-media ship for me....!!! and first large scale also.. HR products has some good bits and equipment.....they seem to be a little slow in delivery...but if you plan things out....maybe they will ship when you need them. Also...look at R&B models for fittings......... they have a very nice selection of deck equipment and such..... And as a side note...I have the floating drydock CD for the Admirable class Sweeper.......not real sure if you could use that info....but for my AM/MSF 238 build it has been well worth the 29$ I spent for it.........it would seem all the deck and SS features are darn near identical( some deviation as noted in the plans) for both classes. Yes I know they are different in layout as far as guns and such....but the basic drawings are great for the benchmark point. Looks to be a great project bro! ...make it a build log,...I could use the lesson for sure!! Good luck! |

That's great. I'm still early enough in the project that I haven't decided on doing a PCE or a minesweeper. So any photo references are definitely a help. I've heard some things about HR being a bit slow, and also that their quality might be falling short. If it turns out to be an issue, I might go with Haynes fitting, even if the price is high. |

Did some sub assemblies tonight, and a bit or primer... Everything is just dry-fitted. Need to do some filling and sanding yet. and here we have an xacto knife with a #11 blade, to give a sense of scale. That's my 1/125 Lindberg destroyer in the background. |
