How was the build? Any trouble with the fit?

DuperScale
It was fairly easy to build. The plastic is pretty soft but a perfect model for beginners.

Dave Flitton
Excellent. Thanks,

Łukasz Gliński
Interesting, will follow

Alexander Grivonev
That is some rad green, I like it, great paintjob 👍

Mr James
Bloody good weathering

Jan Peters
That's a very nice looking Shchuka.
I have one in my stash, hope it will turn out half as good as yours, and I would be very happy 🙂

DuperScale
Thank's mates, i'm happy you like it.

Neuling
Very appealing paintwork and weathering!

Doubtingmango
I always look at the submarine kits as pretty simple without a lot of features, but then I see a build like this where the painting and weathering just bring it alive. Fantastic!

Jörg Schäfer
A very nicely built model with great aging. 👍

Snake Plissken
Wow, chrome plated!

Ben M
Taking it on vacation with me to get it started.

Following. 👍

Is it similar to a commemorative edition or just meant to replicate natural metal finish?

Ben M
It's aluminum plated to represent the actual nmf finish. I built a t-33 where I had some issues that I hope to improve upon.

Ben M
Did a lot of sanding areas that will be glued, masking, fitting parts to each other, and basic assembly while I'm on vacation. I got new decals from Siam decals as the originals are from 1968 and not in good shape. I'm not sure how old the Siam decals are but they are newer than '68. One thing that is apparent is the stripey tail decal doesn't fit at all. This is going to be a good challenge to resolve.

Taking a seat here.

Decided to try to apply the 1960s decal for the cockpit, as I don't have an alternative. Had to soak it for about a minute in hot water to get it to release. As is typical for hawk kits the decal isn't the right size but you go to war with the decals you have. I got it to apply without shattering. Unsure if it will stick, very old decals like this often have to be glued in place.

Neil
Interesting 🤔 following also, looking good 👍

Ben M
I think the Siam Scale decals I'm using instead of the originals are about 20 years old but they're going on ok. A little thick, so not settling down into panel lines but I'll try some decal fluid once they set in place, hopefully they will on the aluminum surface! The roundels are two part so I will have to do a second layer…

Mr D
Smart little model.... unusual in the factory chrome 👍👍
Nice classic kit.
Bit of heat of hairdryer works with thick decals.... nice n steady.
Like it 😁👍

Ben M
That's a good idea, I may give it a try. First I'm going to upgrade from micro sol to mark fit.

Mr D
I use Mark fit ....but recently found the Vallejo one works amazing... Just used it on my in progress IAR-80.
Definitely my go to now.
The moon ships is great 👍👍

Nathan Dempsey
Wow Ben this one is turning into a colorful bird.

Ben M
An interesting detail I note while decaling. The panel lines on the fuselage are engraved. The panel lines on the wings are raised. Wtf.

Desert Marlin
I've been using Mr. Mark Softener and Mr. Mark Setter. They worked well on some Kitty Hawk decals which are pretty stubborn...

gorby
Nice work so far.

Ben M
The tamiya mark fit and some work with a needle solved the problems! Thanks for all the great ideas everyone. Onwards!

Ben M
Did a bunch of cut the decals into pieces to fit a different model than they were made for. Came out fairly well. Subassemblies are getting larger as the project comes together.

Dave
Looks great. Nice work

Desert Marlin
You seem to have forced the decals to cooperate!

Robert Podkoński
Great job, Ben!

David Taylor
Stunning build Jorg.

Michael Kohl
Still absolutely amazing.
One point of criticism though: 23 pics are insufficient. 😉

Jörg Schäfer
Thank you both.
And I thought I exaggerated Michael. 😂

James C
Looks fantastic 👍

Jan Peters
Superb modelling work Jörg, and I agree with Michael, 23 pics is quite minimal 🙂

Johne 69
Well done Mate 👍 do you know how much time you spent to this Projekt?

Robert
nice weathering, well done...

Jörg Schäfer
Danke.
Ich habe zwei Jahre und vier Monate an dem Modell gearbeitet.

John
Outstanding craftsmanship!

Christian Lehmann
Outstanding! So many details dispersed over the whole model. Always new things to be dicovered.

Dietmar Bogatzki
Dafür hast du ein Supermodell gebaut, Jörg.
Und die Bismark Sammelserie kommt auch auf 2 Jahre nur das Ergebnis da 🙁

Spanjaard
Wow, this is a work of art! What a fantastic model

Jörg Schäfer
Many thanks, Gentleman.

Neuling
A masterpiece.

Jörg Schäfer
Many thanks Gorby.

Alessandro B
Outstanding model, congratulations 👏🏻

Jörg Schäfer
Thank you Alessandro. 😊

CaptGPF
Another masterpiece - your eye for details and execution really makes this an engrossing kit. Mike is right, 24 pics are too few, I can imagine spending hours just looking at all of the stuff you have done on this build. Bravo!

Jörg Schäfer
Your comment makes me proud. I'm happy if my model captivates you.
Damn, I would have taken more pictures. 😉

Christian Abraham
Wow, Wahnsinn. Sehr schön

Jörg Schäfer
Vielen Dank, Christian. 😊

Rui S

Beautiful build of a handsome ship.
