Building of GREMIR HMS Onslow

They look very good and are cheaper. They are a light grey colour so often don't even require painting.
As I mentioned, I am building 'laser-printed' version. So far, I didn't have any flake-off problem. The color is so crisp and deep. I really liked the way it looks.
Another big advantage to use 'laser-printed' version is that it is water-proof. So, I can wipe out excess of glue with 'wet' paper towel. Also, when a CA glue is used, I could use an accerator. In the picture, there was some glue mark which was caused by too much CA glue. I hope it can be reduced by final coating with Matte Finish.... when I complete the ship.
So far, I really like this building. There was no fitting problem at all. I think this ship is well designed.
Thanks

One problem I had was that I couldn't find any diagram or picture at specific angle. So, I couldn't figure out what it looks or how to attach a part. For example, as shown in the following picture, I couldn't find a picture where or how to attach this 'rectangular plate'. Just by imagination, I attached it as picture, but not sure whether this is right way....
Assembly Diagram 2 shows part 57 folded at a right angle to form a small platform outside of the superstructure.
On the general plan you can see that there is a ladder leading from the superstructure (between parts 172) to this platform.
