is it still an issue? (we had problems over the weekend, and what you see could be linked to that)

I made this both "1:426" as written on the box, and 1:429 as this is the main scale of the family

U.S.S. Arizona (Revell H348-198, 1:429)

Related products is now a mix of 1:429 and 1:426 (as expected)

Where does 1:429 come from? (Just curious) 1:426 is what's printed on the box, and the various aftermarket photoetch and resin upgrades for the kit are also 1:426. For example, look at the lower-left of USS Arizona Photoetch Set (Tom's Modelworks 4004, 1:426) to see the scale etched right onto the fret. It's unlikely Revell released both 1:426 and 1:429 versions of this kit. It's most likely each reboxing is cast from the same toolset. (All the kits in the family are the same scale because they are the same parts cast from the same toolset.) So just wondering where the 1:429 comes from?

Changed all of them to 1:426 👍

the only item with 429 in the product number is now linked to both scales
USS Arizona Photoetch Set (G..al Models GMM 429-03, 1:426)

Starbase101
Yes, that photoetch set is labeled and sold as 1:429 (don't know why) but it's designed for the 1:426 kit. (I doubt the 3% difference would matter if the photoetch really is at 1:429 scale rather than 1:426 scale.)

Well, it must be 1:426, as this is a natural shipbuiling scale and is the scale that would pop up in my mind immediately if I had to scale down a ship. 😜

Starbase101
Well, not to mention that 1:426 is what Revell printed on the box. 🙂

Thx for the likes mates!

Gary Curling
Wow,you have been busy.fantastic photos looking under the trees adds atmosphere to the diorama.how did you do the snow.You must be pleased how it turned out.

Mathias Decommere
Thanks Gary, I'm very happy indeed! I underestimated the imitation of the snow by a long shot, it was really a journey from christmas snowspray to a mix of quality products to get the result I wanted. Three products I can recommend: snow powder of green stuff world, this has a very nice texture and some shiney pieces in it, snow microballoons from AK, very nice on vehicles and accesoires and Vallejo water texture foam effect to stack up the hight of the snow and cover them with the microballoons as you can see on the trees. I started this one in januari, so I'm very happy to have finished it up with this result. Happy to see you enjoy it! Cheers!

Gritty realism... If the enemy doesn't kill you, the cold will... A very unusual presentation with the thick smoke and flames, in an almost monochrome world of Life and Death.... Superbly well executed work, Mathias.

Mathias Decommere
Thank you very much Bruce, for your beautiful poetic description!

Mr James
Well done Mathias. Excellent presentation of this great dio. Great snow effect and lovely painted figures. I like your ignited smoke effect, the trees, the figure placement and the split logs. Lovely work.

Rui S
Great Snow effects and winter Dio 👍

Mathias Decommere
Thank you Mr James, all these kind words are very appreciated and a motivation to move on to the next project. The smoke was a gamble, but I think I've won. Every project I try something new. Here the smoke was the "innovation". I was very nervous about it, but I am also very happy how it turned out.

Mathias Decommere
Thx Rui S!
