Great paintjob, you did it well with the decals!

Hi! Very neat work! Which putty are you using? Based on its color, I assume you are using an automotive one.

For teeny-tiny too-small-for-tweezers photo-etch, I recommend a wax pencil. Might still be impossible, but maybe slightly less impossible? 🙂

Adrian, thanks for your recommendation and I will have a try later.

Texas hurricane is underway let the fun begin!
Sorry for inverted pics cant get rotated🤠

Rotation is well hidden. To rotate your photos, open your album. Click on "manage". Then turn on the "advanced options" toggle. You will now have the ability to rotate photos in the album.

Doubtingmango
Beautiful work!

Tcamp
Thank yall
Im not a rivet counter or anything but.....
The more i looked at the kit boom i could not figure how it would work ..
Revell had their boom right im also going to support mine as they did and use poles instead of ratlines. Which tie down inside of the work area ?
Im not feeling that one either lol
Again thanks

Oooohhh... so nice 🙂
A Lindberg kit? Seen them but never got one, yet. That looks amazing.

Started out life as a Pyro Plastics kit which in turn was a reverse-engineered copy (pretty much a blatant rip-off) of the Model Shipways wooden kit of the M.T. (Motor Trawler) Hildina H-222 which was built by Cook, Welton & Gemmell Ltd. in 1951. If you look for photos, you will see it matches the Hildina except for some artistic license in the pilothouse windows mainly but an easy fix. The sloped rear pilothouse roof is also a distinctive feature of the Hildina. Apparently the front boom can face forward or aft (is it on a swivel?) according to need. I know the boom was used to hoist the cod end (heaviest part of the net) aboard. These kits are a great basis for conversion to R/C as the original plastic kits were motorized.

Cool info snake..
In my minds eye its on a swivel i didnt model a swivel base ( i guess i could have)
And i just liked the chain ( lol )
I wasnt sure what it was midelled after so thats good info
Thanks for that information i appreciate it brother!

@Tcamp. Good color choice! Most of the British side trawlers had a black painted hull, white is definitely not the norm. I created an entry here for the Model Shipways Hildina because there wasn't one. It's the exact same scale and dimensions but is a wooden kit.

The details on this kit are so crisp. Looking forward to seeing what you're doing to the rear section.

Tcamp
Me too. ( LOL )
thanks m0rce
