Airfix 1:600 HMS Suffolk

[@fookyloh4995]

Thanks for sharing your builds and your knowledge of these ships. I have the 1/600 HMS Suffolk kit as well which I am trying to build and I would like to know how you managed to drill those portholes in a straight line; how did you align the center point of these holes before drilling. My kit came with the fairleads broken because the plastic is so soft and thin. From the video, I guess you have scratch built the fairleads; how did you do it? Any advice is most appreciated.

HMS Iron Duke converted to a 1918 Queen Elizabeth... Sometime to ponder. Great conversion to HMS Exeter.

Ive converted an Iron Duke to an Indefatigable class battlecruiser, if that counts!! Only problem was there was quite a bit of filler in the hull due to blanking off the casemates, drilling out the port holes was not possible as their line happened to be olong a line of filler that tended to crumble, so had to paint them on. Might have to consider converting one to HMS Lion or Queen Mary.
