1/218 Houjian class FAC (Zhengdefu)
This is a very old kit from Zhengdefu modelling kit. The fitting is still ok but details are badly lacking in super structure area. No specific scale but the craft is 30cm long and that works out to 1/218. It comes in motorized version and I decide to stick to its manufacturer plan although I have no intention to put it into water. You can clearly see a black color switch sticking it out from the deck which is use for engage of the motor.
This Houjian class FAC are currently all station in HongKong as part of the PLA garrison protecting Hong Kong territories. The Chinese and English wording on stand of the model clearly state it. More information of this vessel can be found on www.sinodefence.com.
The ralling is not included in the package and I do some minor scratched built detail on the super structure and ralling photo etched is from lion roar 1/350 modern warship railing series.
