Chrisswe kirjailijaHope I can make it interesting to follow.
The kit doesn't seem very complicated and the Eduard photo etch is mild level. Just the open doors are a new thing for me. They might cause problems when painting and building modules together.

Chrisswe kirjailijaI think this project will pick up pace now when I have finished Schleswig-holstein. This is the first ship I build with waterline option and it was very hard to fix the hull seam. I did several cycles of filling, sanding and priming and still it is very visible.

Chrisswe kirjailijaThanks Villiers! My daughter asked me today if I had only built two ships and one small plane after working such a long time. She looked incredulous when I told her that was actually the case🙂

Villiers de VosVery nice clean lines on the hull. My respect working with the small and delicate photo etch assemblies.

Chrisswe kirjailijaThanks Villiers! The PE isn't very complicated on this kit but I do feel I have made improvements since my last ship.

Chrisswe kirjailijaThanks Agnius. I'm trying to stay focused on this project and progress has been good lately.
Unfortunately I had an accident today, I dropped the turmmast on the floor and two PE pieces were knocked off. I think it is repairable and could have been much worse.

Chrisswe kirjailijaThanks J35J, Ricardo and Jörg! I'm happy with the painting, trying to find the right balance between the contrast effects and realism. I know ww2 ships and planes shouldn't look like space marines but I like when shading and highlights make models pop a little.
