Thanks Chris - seems like they didn't point out that ladder in the instructions either. I've marked them in for final addition!

Looking good, Timmy. I was tempted to pick this kit up at the IPMS/USA National convention this summer. Almost sorry I didn't!

As with real shipbuilding, cost overruns and delays also afflicted this project, which was finally completed to a satisfactory (though by no means 100%) state in August 2017.

Nice job Timmy...I recall following her progress in '82' along with the rest of the task force from Portsmouth to the Falklands....exciting times for a young man in his twenties...:)

Excellent built. I do have some doubt about that lager though. Hermes was built in the north-west..
