Auk class minesweepers used by the Philippine Navy (PN) and still in active service, these are the subjects of this project; got a Raven Class minesweeper from LCP sometime ago but didnt have much time ( or nerve) to build it, considering I had to conver the kit to how the PN used its Auk ships. I asked a friend to cast me the basic hull and superstructure so i could tweak around the cast offs instead of damaging the lone hull i had...

main deck gun mount for 3"50 gun emplaced...

3"50 guns mounted fore and aft; trying to figure out how to out the AA gun mounts at the rear and finish the bridge area...

hoipe to finish it within the last days of this year while im on a short break.... :smallsmile:

Great little builds Jepot! :thumbs_up_1:

I am especially interested in your PF-15. I saw your 1/350 build and it was excellent!
