1/600 HMCS Algonquin (Airfix/Scratchbuild)
My first ever try at scratchbuilding, other than using the Airfix Daring hull widened and stretched this ship was built by trial and lots of error looking at pictures. As she appeared circa the gulf war. The steamer under construction is HMCS TERRA NOVA also a participant in the gulf war. I am using the Leander class batch 42 hull as a base to start with. I served in her 1985/86.
