More excellent work from the carrier king.

Great work as ever BH! This is going to be a cracking series.

I do observe some grey lines rather than black on the island of the Rapania though, which I assume is a layer/re-colouring error.

Yes, yes! I totally agree!

Nah just old Bombhead's colour blindness strikes again.

I've decided to go ahead and build the Rapana class in 1/72. Its going to be 1.9 m long.

Youre drawings are going to be helpful Bombhead!

Scale modelling seems to be out of the cope of the forums here, but for those interetsed i will post the build progess on Britmodeler. see here:

Wow, that's going to be an amazing achievment. Thanks for the link, I'm sure lots of people here will be interested to see the progress with Your model.

Excellent start Bert, and pleased my drawings are of some assistance to you. When your model is complete I will draw MV Macoma. I often use good high quality models as reference. I for one would like to see progress scans of your model so please do post them here on this thread.
