HMS CHIDDINGFOLD by GreMir Models
Hi all
Well my first construction report on this site, my first for a long time:( HMS chiddingfold from www.gremirmodels.com Well as you can expect its another good model, designed by Grzegorz Nowak with text by Mike Kroll and Grzegorz Nowak. The model is in 1/200 scale and show's her as she appeared 1942. My Info on the ship is: - As built Hunt Class Destroyer Group 2 Blankney Type, Engines Parsons I.R single reduction turbines. S.H.P 19,000 R.P.M 380 Boilers 2 Admiralty 3-drum 300lb./sq.in. Built by "Scott's" launched 10th March 1941 After her service in the Royal Navy she was transfered to India If anyone wants more info shout, I'll add to this as the build goes on if you don't nod off  Firts the stand this kit will stand on, second the two pages off formers for the hull and third all the formers cut out ready to be glued together. I have done a test fit and can't find any problems yet and all seem's to fit great. Next will be to put this lot together and fit the decks. More later 4.30am here :D am off to bed for a bit Regards to all Rob

Hi all
Well it is a nice kit to make the pennies jingle:D Built the stand to put the kit on, photo's of this tomorrow when its dry. Glued all the hull formers together and have the top and bottom sections together as well. As I need to do this as quick as possible I used super glue ( CA ) to do the lot. The glue does make it quick at this stage and gives a solid result that can be sanded if required. On to the next part

Are you sure about those rubber bands?
They tend to deform the deck a bit.....
