You 1:700 builders are to be admired, that would really be nothing for me!

Thanks for the pic!
Yes I have also two of them (in my lamps, to have light of both sides) but I can't use such magnifying glass. If I look with both eyes though the same glass my 3D view is lost.
At the moment I work without glasses, but if I need to I will need one with individual eyeglass for each side.

Thanks all for the likes, and thanks Dave for the motivational post 🙂
I'm in the midst of a color debate - I have all of the blues, greens, and grays to mix up US Navy WW2 colors, but apparently I'm missing some shades of blue/grey to get the early WW2 Royal Navy colors...what to do???
I bought 4 new shades of gray for my last build (the USS Monterey), do I need 4 more shades of blue for this one 😛

As a modeler you need 50 shades of grey 😉

Thanks bughunter and Villiers for visiting!
Just finished masking off the deck areas and I got my Intermediate Blue, Dark Sea Blue, and Pastel Blue today, so I should be good for 507A, 507C, B-5, B-6, MS1, and MS3 😛

Thanks all for the likes! Still learning as I go - new lesson: brass replacement secondary gun barrels are not as sturdy as the primaries. I must have knocked off one of the 5.25" barrels at least a dozen times 🙁

Album info

Soon after her historic action at the Battle of the Denmark Strait, following repairs, the HMS Prince of Wales sailed across the Atlantic to bring Winston Churchill to a secret meeting with American president Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The meeting was held aboard the Prince of Wales and the US cruiser USS Augusta over a few days in August of 1941, and the output from this meeting was the Atlantic Charter - a declaration that would outline proposed US/UK/Allied policies following the end of the war.

After looking at the box cover for the Flyhawk Dec 1941 HMS Prince of Wales kit for a bit, I decided that I didn't want to represent her during her time in the Pacific, so that left the brief period following the action vs the Bismark (represented by the other Flyhawk Prince of Wales kit). Since I also had the Flyhawk Royal Navy seaplane kit, I decided to dress up the battleship with a little motor launch and a Short Sunderland flying patrol over the ship and her important passenger.

Of course, following some research, it turns out that not only am I signing up for a bit of surgery to convert the kit Royal Navy Fairmile D into a Royal Canadian Navy Fairmile B, the Canadian Navy didn't take delivery of the first Fairmile until October of '41. Fortunately, I'm not the type of person to allow a few months' worth of historical inaccuracy to disrupt a fun build, so here we go...
