To open this log I will start with a little of my background.
I am building a Radio Controlled CA class destroyer as she would have been fitted out in WW2.
This build is intended to be a tribute to my Father who served in the Royal Navy in 1944-45.
I have very little model building experience,what little there is, is mainly a limited number of plastic kits that I built as a kid.
Of those limited plastic kits many were not totally completed such as paint and decals.
I have no experience at all with radio controlled models.
At the moment I am converting a spare room that used to be filled with aquariums and fish related gear into a modelling room where I can work on the vessel, store the parts and materials and pin some of the 1/192 plans that have been enlarged and printed in 1/72 scale to the walls.
