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

Thanks Chris, and it's good to see yours done some time ago!

Latest progress sees the starboard stuff almost all attached.

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..
