1/700 HMS Sussex 1942 (White Ensign)
Not the finest I have seen from WEM which I assume to be down to the moulds being ‘old’ and/or the casters not being overly concerned about quality; or maybe it was just a very early production kit for them (I did get it in a sale quite a while back). Not that it matters that much.
Lots of additional work done over the space of a year (A whole year! On a resin kit! What am I doing?! J) including lots of rework to the castings (such as the hull had an unpleasant droop at the stern, the superstructure block weren’t particularly square or sharp), replacing overhanging decks and splinter shields with brass and paper, scratch building of fittings etc. Additions include additional PE and resin HA guns from Flyhawk, some ship’s boats and paravanes from Admiralty Models and 8” barrels from... (darn forgotten).
