HMS Fearless

Album image #1
Classic box art 
 

Album image #2
Haines shipyard open for business again, deploying clothes pegs just like all great shipyards do... 
 

Album image #3
Hull mostly painted, superstructure coming together with judicious use of clothes pegs again 
 

Album image #4
Getting serious now - C-clamp as well as pegs. I can see a lot of filler and sandpaper in my near future... 
 

Album image #5
Filler, so much filler... (it's an old kit) 
 

Album image #6
Progress... HMS Fearless has funnels & boats, & what I think are meant to be SeaCat launchers. 
 

Album image #7
HMS Fearless completed 
 

Album image #8
You've missed your deck-spot, second Wessex! 
 

Album image #9
The LCU Mk.9 didn't usually have to drop that far to get to the water...

Yeah, built this kit (1968 issue) as a kid - lovely kit, was so different from my other ships! Enjoy!
