I wish you to get well Tom. Guess what I am left-handed too.

Man Nektarios, your going to make me take my Henry J. Kasier out to work on it.

As usual, an excellent build

Thank you guys for your comments. Now part III and final with some closeups of the ship.

Nice job. It's good to see support ships.
Keep modeling.

Here are some photos of a couple of old HN ships. D-211 was an A. M. Sumner class FRAM II destroyer
and D-213 a Gearing FRAM I destroyer. They served in the Hellenic navy from the late 70s till they were replaced by C.F. Adams DDGs and Knox FFs in the early to mid 90s. The Gearings were modernised with more modern electronics in the mid-1980s and were also uparmed with Harpoon SSMs and an Oto Melara 3inch gun. The kits are from JAG and as always they are superb

More photos of the Gearing Fram I.

excellent build Nektarious !

Hi everyone.
I've been quite busy in the last few days.
I completed my Uss Dallas, from Arii : It was pretty fun to build, most of the time was spent sanding the joint between the top and bottom of the hull. Thein I airbrushed it with humbrol enamels. (by the way I've got spattering problems with my airbrush, even with a clean airbrush, and thinned paint, any knowledge about this is welcome)

I also worked on an Aegis cruiser, but I ran into problems masking it with liquid mask.

Really nice Tom-Tom . Which Aegis cruiser do you intend to make???

Thank you John.

Thanks for the comments.
Well I'm working on the Philippine Sea. It's my first Aegis cruiser, so it won't be a museum masterpiece. I've done a lot of sanding, to get rid of the walkways on the sides of the superstructures.
Otherwise, the kit is nice.

In the days to come, I will resume work on my deck vehicles, I needed a break to build some models and release pressure.
