USS Greeneville (SSN-772)

Fairly straightforward assembly. This will be the quickest kit I’ve built in a long time. 

 

Fully assembled, ready for a base coat to fix seams 

 

Primer base coat down. Hull red next 

 

Anti fouling red done. The kit specifies hull red, which I didn’t have so I just used a mixture of Tamiya flat brown and red . 

Matt black done. Gold props and white on the various pokey bits 

 

Clear coat and decals are on 

Panel lining done. The light gray panel liner works nicely to emulate salt residue, which I’ll even put with 

some really dilute xf-26 along the top of the anti-fouling red 

Streaking along the top with dilute x-19 smoke. More streaking with xf-26 

 

Some brown streaks to further break up the red 

More brown streaking along the hull 

 

 

 

Aaand done. The salt water staining didn’t show up as much as I thought it would, but overall I’m fairly happy with the result.
