Thanks Mike
Building a kit from your stash is like cutting the head off a Hydra, two more take it’s place.

Update,
The NC is ready for paint. The rest of the rails will be installed after paint.
Other than the 00 deck bulkheads that need some touch up, this appears all I need to work on. That can't be right, there's got to be more other than the small fiddly bits such as small boats and rigging etc. :hmm: I do know I'm at the stage that I'm now tossing away empty sprue trees. I forgot, the new 5"/38 twin mounts are built. Not bad, I'll buy some more items from Alliance.

The 5" mounts look very good
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

I received the SK-2 radar last night, What a beautiful set Infinity had made. The engineering is exquisite!
It took me around 2 hours to put this thing together.
