So good to see someone else destroying their eyesight with PE (1/700 is too small for me but so many options)

A lot of metal that didn’t have to fight; it really could have gone either way, had the Germans got their hands on them might have made interesting commerce raiders.

Still quite large though! Looking at the AA it would not have lasted long against aircraft though. the ships cranes are completely replaced by these lovely little complete brass replacements.

A blue filter added, I may add some salt streaks from the portholes, but that will be it. The phots from early 1942 show her pretty much pristine. the metalled decks, dark sea blue with a grey dry brushed over to bring out the PE detail.

Probably an either or option. At 1/200 individual stanchions will look much nicer. I just checked in instructions and they’re quite simple.

It’s really hard to work up a pre chewed wooden deck. I’ve had best results using Tamiya powders. Otherwise when I did Graf Zeppelin I used AK Washes dipped at the end of each plank then pencils and with my US carrier airbrushed tan

Done time off and the airbrush is out. The metal deck is navy blue, I’ve modulated it a bit but as she was so new in 1942 it would hardly be weathered.

Yes, little gaps pop up that I’ll treat before painting and the rails will sit along there too. the guns are just amazing, kinda defeats the purpose I know but I thought I’d give them a go for my next two ships.

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.
