1/350 HMS Agincourt (ISW)
My first complex model after so long. The date chosen by the ISW is
challenging, as there are few references and photos for this specific configuration.
The kit is good, minor problems in the casting; it is worth noting the
lack of range finders for the main turrets which also have some problems
in the base around the support. It is my first attempt to use (mainly)
color spray (I usually use a brush), and the first time I use phosphor
bronze wire for the rigging, with satisfactory results for my low standard
(spiders hired by Jim Baumann do not live in these latitudes:). I also
replaced all minor guns with Aeronaut brass ones. The major points of uncertainty
are the exact configuration of the aft platforms and mast.
