Hello Guba,
I asked to my friend about this progress.
Now he's on waiting for some PE part import come,
and he's on consider to finish it in original version USS England,
or HTMS Pinklao in Royal Thai Navy.

Howdy, 'mws', saw your posting on YT and found you here.

I look forward in reading your posts, although I work (for now) in 700 scale, I do have a few 350 ships, but they are all resin kits of my ships that I served, while in the US NAVY FF/FFGs.

K.I.T. (Keep In Touch) on YT!!!

I see that you have carefully weighed all the parts. For such small models the top weight of the thicker plastic components tends to give a lot of top weight and have poor stability in the water. Have you had any trouble with this?

Cheers! Tom

Loved these little DE's. I drilled on one back in the day, Whitehurst, which was built side by side with England and was one hull number off. I scratch built a 1:515 version as well as a 1:144, both using 3D printing. Acquiring a wild hair I decided to build a 1:515 version of England, for which I'll have to design a 1.1 quad to replace the 40 Quad that Whitehurst had. Both were hit by Kamikazes in the bridge, W-Hurst was repaired and returned to combat, England was not.
