Updates (2021/01/08): Continuously working on the superstructure. The amount of work required is exceed my initial estimation. Many surface has to be properly treated with putty and a lot of polish, due to misfitting and PE design. I order few PE handrails and winders on Aliexpress for necessary detials (I think) which is not included in the box (Hopefully, I could get them before Chinese New Year). In the meantime, I am working on the water base. Cutting the ploy foam and glue on plastic sheets on the side. Cut my palm during the process, should have been more careful and using proper tool for this job.

Be careful out there!
Very interesting project with an astounding amount of PE...

Thank you for your concern Lochsa! 🙂, This kit contains 8 sheets of PE, so there is no point for not using the all! 😉

Update(2022/01/26) Complete the camouflage paint for the hull and lower potion of the superstructure. Also applied weather to the painted sections. I think I will do some adjustment later on as it looks kind of weird. I also managed finished PE construction of the forward tower , funnel No.2, foremast and main mast.

Thanks Guillaume, there is indeed a lot of works required for this kit, which is far exceed my initial expectation by now. Lucky, the PE design isn't bad and it comes with things like masking paper to make it a little bit easer 😉

very clean handling of all that PE stuff. Your paint scheme looks promising too.

Thank you, Michael! this is my first time doing complex camouflage for a battleship. Hopefully, the final results won't be too messy.

Update 2022/02/21 - Somehow lost many essential PE parts for the project and I have to order replacements from the manufacturer. So I might have to leave this project idle for a while. Majorities of the ship structure are assembled and painted at this stage.

The tiny crewmen really emphasise how massive this ship was. I am amazed at your skill, and the details you have brought together. Superb 🙂
