Hallo @Lusitania1915A few weeks ago, parallel to building the TridentModel "Alert", I started building the smaller version of VanguardModels in 1:64.
At that time I had the kit for quite a while, according to Chris Watton I was the first to order it.
I have that in writing
Anyway, the kit lay around for a while, I had to finish other projects, then there was the excitement about the Trident kit and just before new year's eve my little daughter wanted to join in...
It didn't work with the Trident kit, but the smaller kit was prepared relatively quickly and started out of the box.
Within a short time I had assembled the frame, in the meantime I have finished the first planking, filled the fuselage and am preparing the visible planking.
I still keep the construction report in the German forum (schiffsmodelle.com), but will try to keep a slimmed-down version here in the forum as well.
I hope you will forgive me that there will only be posts at loose intervals.
I will post the pictures of the first stages of construction here tomorrow, as soon as I have made a preliminary selection.
Unfortunately, the very first steps are not documented, the first pictures show the assembled frame.
Funfact: My daughter has lost interest again in the meantime....Kids are funny, especially when they are still small.
