Once you get past that, everything is down hill from there. Start with hardest part, start inside out. It is pretty easy after that.

I took a few better shots the other day, so just adding here before I work myself into the Gallery upload.
One thing I still cant get right is keel blocks to sit flush with every part of the hull. I adjust one - another one sticks out. Seems like a game of whackamole. So I leave it here, but have to consider better approach next time. I also notice few bits that need adjusting in these photos, like peeled paint on railings or something but that is fixed before final model "done".
Ive also added the plaque from Flyhawk on the base.

Been quite a journey for almost two years or so, but glad to have it done and focus on the next builds (and tidying up old ones, always fun).
The model is finished.
Below are first teaser shots. Intending to take few more later with good camera and in better light conditions, yet here she is in her 1/700 glory, in Battle of North Cape camouflage. I got to say thanks to the forum, and to the authors producing references for these ships. Really has helped me a lot in painting (Antonio Bonomi book was used very extensively here). As well as Jim Bauman's tips on painting railings on the superstructure rather than using PE (I tried Jim!) and thinning out various platforms (where it wasn't too late).

That is time well spent mate! He's a real beauty - you've really done him proud. I recently bought the released Dragon kit of this, so this means my mostly incomplete FH kit will never be built.
Having started it though, I can fully appreciate everything that you've done to this kit - so I tip my hat to you. Great result, and I look forward to your next project

First shot of the model that can be said is completed. I am going to go through now all those bits of brass peaking through from paint with magnifying glass, touch up the base here and there, and do proper pics. It took a huge amount of time, Im glad to see the nearing end of the build. Of course today on final moment I have for the first time had an accident with it - a phone dropped on the bow. The railing survived but got bent. Hence they are due a respray, that is the main thing remaining.
