made some good progress today. did a lot of sanding on the hull , built some sub assemblies , primed / painted hull above the boot. of course i couldnt resist some artistic license since the kit is on the simple side. i raided the PE bin and added some 1/350 hatches , some ladders to the back side of the turrets and missile launcher, doors to the wheelhouse. i built one radar. finally test fitted one of the superstructure modules. the decks sections are going to need some massaging. there are some strange decals that came with this .. they are "water resistant" because this model is meant to be motorized and r/c. but these decals are HORRIBLE to work with. they are mostly the nonskid paths on the decks.. not sure what im going to do down the road.
