HMAS Vampire D68

14.4k Avro683Lancaster  7.9 years ago

First version of the HMAS Vampire, an Australian WWII destroyer, which was part of the "Scrap Iron Flotilla", and escorted the Prince Of Wales and the Repulse to Singapore when they were sunk by Japanese bombers. This is being built from memory of a 1/700 scale waterline model which has been packed up (I'm moving), so is not very detailed, and everything below the waterline is pretty much made up. More detail and refinements will be added over time. The model should be a better example soon, paving the way for more detail, as it is in the stuff I have, as opposed to being shipped over.
