    Thats a challenge in scale 1/350. Quickly too thick

    The drawings show lots of overlapping plates on the lower hull but the kit show only a few.I added some plates but not the lot on the drawings. After masking I did 5 layers of Mr. Primer Surfacer 1000. After 1 hour removed the tape. Looks OK but hope its enough th see it later.

    Started the build. Removed all the deck parts like hatches and coal shuttles ect. since they will be replaced by PE and 3D parts. Also the porthole eyebrows will be replaced by PE. Glued the deck. Good fit overall.

    Maybe something for you as I think you did not do this ship

    That is not planned but an interesting thought

    The kit of Trumpeter is very well molded. I will make use of the upgrade sets of Shipyard works and Eduard. These books give lots of information but you can also find lots on the web

    In this building log I want to present the SMS Viribus Unitis an Austro-Hungarian dreadnought battleship, the first of the Tegetthoff class. "Viribus Unitis", meaning "With United Forces", was the personal motto of Emperor Franz Joseph I. Viribus Unitis was ordered by the Austro-Hungarian Navy in 1908 and was laid down in Stabilimento Tecnico Triestino shipyard in Trieste on 24 July 1910. Viribus Unitis was launched from the shipyard on 24 June 1911 and was formally commissioned into the Austro-Hungarian Navy on 5 December 1912. She spent her early career performing training missions and making trips to foreign ports. In June 1914, she carried Archduke Franz Ferdinand on a trip to Bosnia with his wife Sophie. During his visit to Sarajevo, he was assassinated by Gavrilo Princip in the event that caused the beginning of World War I. During World War I, Viribus Unitis took part in the flight of the German battlecruiser SMS Goeben and light cruiser Breslau. In May 1915, she also took part in the bombardment of the Italian port city of Ancona. Viribus Unitis was sunk while at anchor by limpet mines emplaced by Italian sailors on 1 November 1918. So far some info everyone can find on the web.

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.
