I had a Fritz x bomb printed 1/35 in 3D earlier in the year for the base. The bloke who made them had a misprint so he sent me that as well which was easy to fix with some plastic card. I thought about weathering them but it’s kinda pointless as the ones in museums are all very old and the contemporary ones would have been pristine. A very successful weapon. I’m trying to get out to the Australian war memorial annexe to take a photo of the ship with the real bomb.

The thing with acrylics is you need lots of layers with a brush which drowns the details which you don’t with an airbrush. So the time it takes to mask works out quicker. IMO…..

The boat booms on the hull, the kit provides 4 and ignored a set near the Y turret. As you can see the kit plastic ones are poor. the PE ones are a bit bashed or replaced. Next is the boat davits, which are good enough but completely ignore how they worked so I fixed it with spares

Roma’s focsle. I need more work on the painting yet as I’m not quite happy. The ventilators are fantastic and need work to bring out the detail at this scale. I’ve added paravane chains and the anchors. I’ve also added aftermarket paravanes to replace the rubbish kit ones.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
