Working on the centre bandstand where there will be 2 quad 50 cals. The Trumpy pieces are the platform on 2 boxes, where was the plans has this as a ventilation shaft and both platforms around the guns have fold down plates. Just scratch build with PE spares

If you look at Koppalakki‘s work here, probably another of the top 10 in particular super detailing and painting with an airbrush. his yamato is the benchmark as far as I’m concerned.

He’s certainly one of the best, there’s about 10 I reckon are world class in this sport

A light filter added then Ships markers added (left over from Yamato - Rub on decals which leave no glossy outline) and ships numbers left over from my Vendetta build which are individual numbers and letters to minimise flash. weathering next.

Now to start on Eskimo which had a CB3098 dazzle pattern according to Sovereign hobbies colour charts.

I gave the deck a blue grey filter then spent the day on several layers of blues before a overspray of 507a (RN Admiralty dark grey) then added a bit of white to fade it. I’ll add a filter after it has a day to dry.
-
Usually very diluted black then grey then a few types of diluted matte green colours till satisfied.

Well the shop sent me the AV-1 upgrade and not the 3! It’s ok as PE goes, I don’t know if POntos could improve on it really as it’s essentially steel girders the rest will come down to the modellers. This is by far the nicest Hull I’ve seen Trumpeter make and it’s not too big compared to the normal carriers

Getting some paint on the deck. The kit has it as fairly smooth but I know there are panels on it so I’ve improvised with the airbrush. Several shades of grey, once nice and dry I’ll do some filters

A couple of shots of Eskimo in her 1944 coat then 1945. You can see the depth charge throwers and racks amidships. I’ve also show a photo of the focsle on a tribal class which shows the flanges (if that’s it) for the chain and smoke pots
-
The plans have the focsle area with a checker plate and non slip strips. The kit has horribly raised bits and no non slip strips. When I bought the Pontos Marat upgrade to get the torpedo booms for the Borodino, it had lots of little steel strips which I’ve used here. The bits where the chain goes into the hull are little resin upgrades I got on a IJN set but I’ll have to add flywheels later.

Wasn’t happy so I gave them a pink coat (to match OC) and I’m much more satisfied with the outcome.
