First Scratchbuild, please evaluate

Post by Navboyry »

We all know that the LindyFletcher is inaccurate. This is my attempt to fix the MK 37.

This is the new MK37, I used a resin kit from Dreadnaught models. I added the open hatches, replace the support structure for the radar screen and attached the side thingies from the original kit piece.

Building the screen, styrene and screen material from a screen door.

Primed, painted and ready to direct fire.

Feel free to critique, as suggestions are the only way I'll grow.
