Panzerwomble Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 (edited) On the advice on another LSP thread... apparently this one was worth a go ....the decals are a little fragile ....it's needs a fair amount of unspecified weight in the nose, but otherwise a pleasant model to make that didn't need it's own tube of filler, so thanks for the advice fellas . Mostly OOB , masked serials for this one , odd bit of plastic replaced with metal but not a lot to it otherwise. So 1959 - 1960 my father served on HMS Centaur on it's cruise from Devonport to Singapore via Shri Lanka . He would have been a 32 year old PO at the time . Not a huge number of pictures... however this one that took my interest , crew sunbathing on a baking deck . The Seahawks of 801 RNAS sat waiting . Always liked Seahawks from 1/72 Airfix days ...and EDSG ....well ..? & so Edited June 26, 2022 by Panzerwomble LSP_Kevin and Alain Gadbois 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzerwomble Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share Posted June 26, 2022 (edited) Engine room engineers tend to be below decks most of the time only emerging portside ! Scenes here of the man himself amongst the arrival ceremony of HMS Centuar at Singapore Jan 1960 .
