Binzhou - Type 054A FFG
1September 26, 2021Many of the bigger parts are slide molded and do not require much assembly... thus this is the result after about 10minutes of unpacking, cutting and dryfitting it all together
2September 26, 2021Finished the basic parts of the superstructure. As the parts were slidemolded, there were no real issues with alignment. Note that Iused black glue
3September 26, 2021Stabilizers, screws and shafts were glued in place on the lower hull
4September 26, 2021It´s photoetch time! The Tetra stuff seems rather nice, although it´s super fiddly
5October 2, 2021ANother bit of work was finally done today! I glued on some more PE and glued the main superstructure on. I still have to do some filling
6October 2, 2021The PE-details look quite nice on the missile launchers
7October 7, 2021Got smoe more progress! Got the sides (more or less) properly sanded.
8October 7, 2021So more PE has also been fitted. The ship really starts to look quite delicate
9October 7, 2021Funnel and rear mast
10October 7, 2021Front mast and bridge area. It´s just missing the bigg radar on top...
11October 9, 2021Assembly is finsihed. Mayor and minor subassemblies are left removable for easier painting
12October 9, 2021The bow area is full of rockets, radomes and stuff
13October 9, 2021PE doors and ladders bring some nice additional detail around the mid section
14October 9, 2021The main radar has its two main parts tilted slightly aginst each other, making it look rather interesting
15October 9, 2021And I´ve built a micro-chopper to sit on the helo-deck
16October 23, 2021Basic painting and washing is done... I still have to paint the stand in black

Album info
Using Trumpeters 1/700 kit and Tetra Model Works photoetch elements, I am building the Chinese PLAN frigate Binzhou (515) as I had seen her in person at an Open Ship event at the Kieler Woche in Northern Germany in 2018.
