Hr.Ms. Witte de With

Hello fellow members,

It has been a while since I posted a thread.
This week I have started to build the model of the HNMLS Witte de With,
an airdefense frigate from the end of the Cold War period.
The model has been published by GPM in Poland and the scale is 1:200.

I am now busy with buidling the hull. I already finished the upper part and the sonar dome and am now working my way to the the stern.

I will keep you all informed about the progress by posting some pictures from time to time.

Greetings
Ron

In the Dutch Navy some names may have been used several times, for instance "de Ruyter"
