Jason, this was a terrific build. Thank you so much for sharing a small amount of your family's history with us. It has been a terrific insight into the times during the war. I've enjoyed this entire experience.
Dear Jason Your recollection that your great uncle was invalided out of the RN in the early 50s rings a bell. My grandfather was a regular RN CPO and compled two tours of the China station prior to the outbreak of war. He was assessed to be vulnerable to TB and thus returned to Civy Street in the early 50s. Ironically, this diagnosis was incorrect but he died of stomach cancer in 1958. I am currently building HMS Hood, upon which Fred served in the mid 30s. This is my first return to modelling for many years and I find your videos very helpful. Thank you and keep up the good work. Cheers Phil

thank you for the kind words, smaller ships do get forgotten about and life on board was very different to being on a capital ship
Very poignant and excellent build
Jason you did a outstanding job and very well done and to preserve the history of your family is totally Awesome!!
Glad you enjoyed it! not sure I will do anything that small again!
@@ModelkitStuff that's so small I'd loose all the PE parts to the carpet monster! Lol

Many thanks for taking the time to comment and the kind words, my great uncle’s TB spot never came of anything either.
Very nice model, a great tribute to your family who served.
The sea colouring looks good, I have noted the colours you used
Thanks for looking in and your comments. I was quite pleased with the sea colour, glad I have it on video to remember what I used 😉
