Wow!! Great kit! Where did you get it?)) I've been searching it for at lest 5 or 6 years...( Looks good!

Hi! Sorry for late response) First of all, my congratulations to you as you've bought really great kit!) There are no issues with it. Everything fits good, photo etched is presice. You should buy additional metal gun burrels for it. And of course if it's your first ship, don't be hurry with gluing all together. Make a doublecheck before, that you're able to paint that stuff without extra efforts. It's better to paint some parts separately. Good luck with it;)

Tanks a lot!🙂 Yes, the main reason to buy the box now was to avoid dust. There are so many tiny details...I will definitely brake something if I will clean her.🤷♂️

Hi to all! It's been a long time since I've done something with Alaska. Today cranes are almost finished. The only thing is left - to add cables. And with this step the assembly is more or less done. All parts will be glued together after painting. Next step - priming.

Guys, does anyone have good photos of USS Alaska's cranes? I want to know, how cables are placed on the crane.

Recently my friend has dropped a box with small parts of both superstructures. Some parts were broken. So now I have minus one friend 😄 Just kidding. I've spent a couple of hours by fixing the damaged parts. For now I have a small progress with the rear superstructure.

Thanks a lot! I've tried a dozen of different glues and found out that the best one for me is one of the cheapest, which is called "Premia". It's an own brand of one Ukrainian supermarket. In fact they have two CA glues. On dries faster and another is thicker and gives you more time to place the detail. I use both of them. To apply it I use a scalpel blade and a toothpick.

Here's my progress for today. Most of these parts are not glued to each other. Probably, Alaska was not the best choice as the first ship to build. But no regrets🙂 P.S. I was going to start with Yamato🤪

As I've started a couple of weeks ago, I've partly assembled the front and the rear superstructures. It's the front

I've glued the front and rear parts of the deck and attached some smaller details which will be easy to paint.

As I've started building this kit a couple of weeks ago, I have some progress now - it's about 60% assembled. But I'd like to go through several stages and show you some photos. So the first couple of hours I've spent by sanding the lower hull. It had some noticeable seams. For better understanding of the size, I've put the bottle of glue. The ship is over 70cm lenght.

After many years of building planes and AFVs I understood that I want something new. So I decided to try myself at fleet. My very first ship is gonna be a beautiful kit from Hobby Boss which is USS Alaska in 1/350 scale. I've chosen this one because a couple of reasons: 1. It looks great 🙂 2. It is a new kit (2017) so everything should go together well 3. The kit has 4 big plates with PE parts and it's not necessary to by extra PE (at least it's enough for my level😀) 4. The deck on this ship was painted dark blue and I decided not to buy an extra wooden deck. The only aftermarket that I've bought for this model is a set of 305 and 127 mm metal barrels. I would be appreciate for all the comments and tips, but I'm totally new in fleet, so please don't be strict))) Let's go...
