Hello Treehugger,
I bought them on the site of Naval Models itself, this set should still be available, although the stock is limited

Q: Is there not supposed to be railings on top at the back in photo 3? Just below the mast structure.

@ treehugger, yes indeed, it is one of the few pieces of PE that I still have to add
Guy, welkom, take a seat,

I've been working on the details to make it all look a bit more realistic, I hope to get busy with the airbrush very soon.

I had hoped to be in the painting phase by now, but no, still adding detail to it. I didn't have the time to do much, as other things kept getting in the way.

Well doesn't time fly. It's been months since I gave you guy's an update on my Jean Bart. I have been working on her, but only in short sessions. This gave me the impression that I was getting nowhere with this one. Then came along the Plastic & Steel show where I had the opportunity to work on her for two full days, and lo and behold she is close to getting finished. Just adding the last details know, than some weathering, clear coat and windows and clear parts and done.
Hopefully next update very soon…

Album info
First time I post a work in progress album. This old kit from Heller gets an update with the photo-etsh set from Naval Models. This set contains the necessary railings and stairs together with some parts for the radar and antenna. I build the rest of the details from scratch. Construction began about two months ago, after assembling the basic elements (hull, deckhouse, chimney and masts) began detailing using photos of the original.
