The kit wouldn’t convert, it would be too beamy. Yamato is a lot more flat bottomed

Probably only the Stukas and 109’s as apparently the other aircraft were out of production by the early 1940’s. The Kubelwagon? Of course! It’s there! The little motorcycle too.

I thought I’d add a little bit of extra detail it took about 3 days, I wanted to perhaps do a seaplane that would act as a recovery or guard plane like they have helicopters, but the only one I really liked is about $100USD for a 1/350 plane that is not with it, so a fast patrol boat it is. Came out quite nicely, bashing the guns. Then it gets parked

Fitting her out. Spotlights, signal lamps, most of the AA guns ( I’m awaiting the final 6, as the KA kit ones aren’t very nice), fully rigged crane, range finders included as well

Focke-Wulf Fw 190D-9 by Jörgen - Eduard - 1:48 - PLASTIC
RGL replied to Jörgen's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
That study is porn for married blokes -
Whoa! Back up the train! What’s the kit? Are you using aftermarket or Scratch? Tell us a story!! These big BB’s are a massive bit of plastic (the bride would kill me if I went this big, I’ve got too much 1/350 in extra PE).

A major part of the build is now done. There are 4 radio masts on the side which I can’t do until the planes are put on the flight deck. Armament and fittings now, then the aircraft. , 254B085D-3640-46BF-9249-63B44932D05F.MOV

Kevin, there are several variants of denier rigging, Infini, Uschi etc. you just need to get different diameters, some are so thin you can hardly see them. I pretty much use CA glue for everything, using different quick or medium depending on the task.

Deck railings done on the starboard side, as well as nets, ammo boxes on the deck plus some additional life rafts on the railings from North Star. Ship’s boats slung. Tomorrow I’ll do the port side.

Thanks for the likes and comments folks. Back to the funnel and bridge a) throw it together b) paint it c) start to weather and rust so tomorrow I can start rusting and weathering the three masts, then rig it. Progress is OK so far

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.
