almost about to call this one done. ive added a 3d printed aftermarket surface radar on the upper mast , some 1/200 PE ladders and rails , used some PE sprue for antennas by the wheelhouse. installed rudders , did a bunch of touch up painting. added some 1/350 rail above the wheelhouse. ive definitely used some artistic license to make this somewhat simple kit a bit more detailed. the decals are aftermarket.. the warning circle around the missile launcher. i may do a little this and that still before she goes on the shelf like adding #D printed hose reels. the kit stand was actually impressive with its shiny "brass" pedestals , i have it gorilla glued and drying over night. i dig these oddball frigates / cruisers that have that "cold war vibe". there is hardly any subject matter out there from that period , and whats out there is mostly garbage .. very crude.
