Geleitboot Klasse 319 F209 Brummer

Bart Goesaert
looks interesting, seems like a nice camouflage...

Mathias Carl
Thanks Bart.
I've already built one as Minensuchboot Typ 1935 in a similar camouflage.
But as this one is a Bundesmarine -ship, based on the Minensuchboot, it will be simply two-tone-grey.😉
The main difference will be the armament.

Bart Goesaert
no pics? 😉

Mathias Carl
They will be coming, when I´ve got something to show.
At this moment, there´s only filling and sanding.😉

Bart Goesaert
Can you include pictures of the previous kit too?

Mathias Carl

looks good. Do you paint the camouflage before applying the layers of the hull?

Holger Kranich
Na da will ich doch mal an Bord kommen! Ich mag die alten Pötte. Schade das es keinen M 40 gibt, da wäre ich echt scharf drauf!

@Bart:
I'm Not quite sure if I get your question right...
The boat with the camouflage is an old model of mine.
The one I'm actually working on will be quite different.
On the old one, the model has been asambled and then I've painted the whole sheme by hand.

By the way:
There's already an album with some building pictures.

Bart Goesaert
Have seen it, that's what I wanted to know, the order of fitting and painting. Still puzzling what is best with ships

Christian Bruer
A very good start was made👍 I don't want to miss any further progress, so count me in Mathias🙂

@Bart, for painting ships IMOH, the best is to work in sub assemblies. You can build and paint them seperately, and fix them togehter when everything is finished. I used this method on most of the ships and it went out nice. You have to take care using plastique liquide, best is to use PVA glue and a touch of superglue not to ruin any paintwork.

I´ve added some new pictures and comments to the building log.
Hope you like it. 🙂
