1/700 HMS Trafalgar (HP Models)
On the past year I bought an HP Models HMS St. James kit from Pacific Front Hobbies and I decided to complete it as the HMS Trafalgar.
This is a good kit from HP models and the only in the market of the Battle class destroyers in scale 1/700. Unfortunately, the kit does not come with photoetch. However, in order to add some details to the model, I used a Tribal class DD PE set from White Ensign Models. For the model painting , I used WEM colours for the hull and all the vertical surfaces (Modern RN light weatherwork gray) , and green for the decks (Humbrol 88); the color of all the rafts are the same as the ship sides i.e. light gray. Best regards,
