Also I don’t know how to put the word “finished” in the title of this build log...😕 Well dispite your poor camera, crappy lighting, and terrible background, you've got a great model. Well done.

Semore, from here the only difference I can see between your model and some other highly-rated ones is that yours has perhaps slightly less weathering, but your crisp painting and neat metal work looks right up there to me. semorebutts, popeye the sailor, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

semorebutts Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share #1241 Posted March 10, 2019 Thank you everyone! ccoyle - i agree about the weathering. It scares me when I think about it. I ‘am working on a 1/35 israeli tank when im not working on the MO. I think I am going to practice weathering on the tank to see how it turns out.

zygote01 Posted March 16, 2019 Share #1254 Posted March 16, 2019 I am thinking about buying this kit but am a mite confused as to which detailing set(s) I will need to buy to improve it. I have been onto the Pontos site but they do not give much detail as to what is contained in each upgrade kit. Could you please advise as to which upgrades to buy? Thanks.

Erik_1991 Posted July 23, 2019 Share #1255 Posted July 23, 2019 Hi there Semore! Holy.. Damn.. ****! I stumbeld across this thread yesterday.. And i binge-read the whole thing! (Well, kinda, as a sailor i don't have 4G phone connection all the time) But what a build! Awesome, just awesome. All the details and tiny work you've done! Amazing! I've build a 1/350 Bismarck when I was a kid (12 y/o tops). But the vessel has not survived and was looking to build this kit of yours as well! But sinds it had been quite some time building a model i'm starting with a tamiya Nissan Primera P10e JTCC. And hope i have 25% of the skills you have and proceed to the Bismarck afterwards! H/T for this build! Enjoyed reading and seeing the whole thing come together!

VAmodeler Posted December 7, 2019 Share #1257 Posted December 7, 2019 I'm about to start this model. Wondering how you will paint the camo on the superstructure? I was planning to dry assemble the main components and put them on the hull and deck before assembling any detail so I can tape it up.
