For my next ship build I am going for something a little smaller (and hopefully simpler) to build than my last few battleships.
I have had this Z-26 destroyer sitting in my stash since around 2017 so its time for it to get built. I am not going to go crazy with AM on this one since it comes with a reasonable amount of PE in the kit. I also sourced a railing set from Eduard. Its for the Dragon Z-32 but they are essentially identical when it comes to railings so should work.
First order of business though is to go through my paints and make sure I have the right colours

Hi Rory,
Nice choice, I will be along for the ride.
Cheers, Si
Not a lot done this week but I did get started on the hull and deck.
I will be honest, this was one of the easiest hull joins I have done. Barely any filler needed and pretty much zero step at the joins.
I also installed the rails for the mines. The instructions would have you remove all the plastic molded parts but honestly that was a lot of work for not much gain.
All I ended up doing was leave the plastic rails in place and modify the cross ties to fit.
Saved me a bunch of time and came out looking good.

Nice, Rory! This one is on my eventual “to build” list, so I’m interested to see how it goes for you. Lookin’ good so far!
Nice start Rory, looking forward to some more progress.
