Thankyou guys for the comments, quite overwhelming
OK
I started this exactly 8 years ago
First model I have ever attempted, so I learnt a lot! (and there were a lot of mistakes!)

Ply wood frames, balsa strips , sanded, bogged, sanded, fiberglass, flow coat, and weeks and weeks of sanding by hand

I followed a rough rule of building everything in the structure with styrene, from scratch
As a learning thing, the ammo boxes were moulded

She is 12 feet long approximately, but unfortunately 3 inches too long for scale accuracy, a mistake from converting the
1/100 scale plans to 1/72, but you live and learn
The gun directors move individually, and main armament follows them
4 motors, 4 motorbike batteries, 2 individual radio control systems...

and 120 KG of removable ballast

Again, thanks for the comments, both here and in the AAR, you guys really are the
friendliest people ever

For any Aussies, in Sydney, weather permitting, she debuts at Hubertus Country club
September 5th
Its a great club, come and share a sausage!

The overcast makes it look remarkably lifelike.

Methinks the timestamp (2015.03.24) on your digicam is wrong [8D].

Outstanding. A tremendous accomplishment.
