  1. The kit wouldn’t convert, it would be too beamy. Yamato is a lot more flat bottomed
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. The Vierling c38’s are probably as complicated as anything I’ve done.
  5. 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
  6. That study is porn for married blokes
  7. 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).
  8. 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
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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
