Making a start on the Tamiya 1:700 HMS Prince of Wales. This White Ensign PE will keep me busy for a bit! #scalemodel

Yeah just for scale: that's how big my glass of wine had to be to deal with all that PE

In progress - HMS Prince of Wales (Tamiya 1:700). Doing the PE rails *after* the dazzle camo and deck turned out to be a good choice. Final stretch now.

Still (always) more to do, but pottering away on my HMS Prince of Wales makes for a quiet meditation on the events of 80 years ago, just a few hundred miles north of my QTH

Itsy bitsy crew from @ionmodel that will be perfect on my 1:700 builds. Painting will be like 1 molecule of flesh tone to 3 molecules of navy😉 Got these after seeing @r.o.hobbypasion post, maybe these were used on his jaw-dropping Juan Carlos I L-61 diorama?

Thanks Daniel. Let's not even mention tripping all the air and submarine reconnaissance alarms in the area!
