Completed; Flyhawk 1/700 Grosser Torpedo Boat

Post by Chris Meddings »

I got the very nice 1/700 flyhawk Lutzow from Mike at Starling Models at Telford Scale ModelWorld in November

Finding myself with only a couple of days over the holidays at the bench I was looking in the box and thought the bonus Grosser Torpedo Boat would be great fun and doable in a couple of days so I gave it a go.

It was a peach of a kit, just beautiful detail for the scale, the PE was very pliable and easy to work and I only had one drama, which was self made, when I lost the rear mast and had to scratch a replacement from brass.

Anyway, waffle over, here it is.

Thanks for looking

Chris

I wish Flyhawk would release this kit as an individual model. Don't want to buy a Lutzow every time I want a destroyer! I've emailed Flyhawk a couple of times, but never got a response or acknowledgement. They must have gotten the mail because it didn't bounce back. Does Flyhawk ever answer mails? :wave_1:
