I finished this a little while ago. It was a nice kit and a lot of fun to build.
1:400 so not really that small.
First time I have really had a good go at drilling out port holes and using Kristal klear, also feel I have finally got the hang of stretched sprue
Not sure I have got her looking historically accurate but I think she looks good.

Dave,

Nice build.

I recently bought the ORP Wicher in her 1935 fit and I am very much looking forward to that build. It was a beautiful kit considering I paid $7.95 for it.

I also picked up the USS Noa 4 stack destroyer. An equally nice kit of a unique ship. Noa served as a test bed for DD based Scout aircraft that would ultimately lead to installing some catapults on Fletcher class DD's but Noa simply carried a Seagull on a cradle in place of her aft torpedo tubes. Makes for neat kit the only unfortunate part is the Seagull in the kit is in bad need of improvement.

I really like these mirage kits and its too bad that they are OOB. Though someone said their APD kit is listed at Hannants so who knows....
