1/350 Kang Ding class Frigate (Bronco)
G,day all . This model is a Kang Ding class Frigate of the ROC navy.
A nice looking ship but as a kit I was less than impressed , it wasn’t
the quality that my other bronco kits are as far as detail and filler was
used on all joins , but don’t get me started on the instructions , they
are not in any order at all , I think someone dropped the paper work and
got it all mucked up and what little indication for photo etch placement
was not good at all and the photo etch helo netting was mismoulded so I
had to cut out the sections that were bad and leave just the frame work
as you can see in my photos . There are very few detail photos on the net
of this class of ship so if I got it wrong ill live with it. The hull is
Gunze H308 , the deck is Gunze H305 and the keel is Gunze H17 cocoa brown
. I did use a veteran CIWS instead of the kit supplied unit and the helo
is the kit supplied unit and I did replace the anti ship missile launchers
with a set of Robin models ones witch I found on a Chinese hobby site but
as I brought the last ones they have not been back on the site . This build
was a little annoying but looks good in the end.
