From your pictures, it looks like this is an exceptionally "clean" molding. I'm not seeing a lot of ejection pin marks in the pieces which make up the hull tub, so I have to ask - have you already filled and sanded those or are the parts simply molded that cleanly?

That looks good! Great to see you settled in and at work on this Dutchman. My Leopard has been in the box since the beginning of the year. Since I missed the finish date I've been trying to get some other stuff done, but that's going almost as slowly.

There has been some very minor sanding but overall this is one of the cleanest kits that I have built.

I have completed the build. So many small interior pieces it is a wonder that they all fit inside:

There is a little more space in the turret, but not that much:

Now it is time to paint al of those little bits.

Yeah, you're making great progress- she looks really good!!!
