USS Alaska by Boeing774 - Hobby Boss - 1:350 - PLASTIC

A tad bit of work but extremely tedious and fiddly:

Another 6 hours on these brings the total to 53.

 

School starts again tomorrow and I’ll content myself to a couple of oerlikons a day I suppose.

Not sure how accurate, but I am pleased with Tamiya XF-50 as the Deck Blue, and the Tamiya AS-8 rattle can for 5-N.  (These are 1/700 scale)

Only 5 hrs of work today, but well spent time: I’m thoroughly happy with how it turned out compared to the other one:

Also spent some of the week making some oerlikons. Here one:

Total work: 58 hrs

look at your model's 20mm ammo magazine with the 1 in this picture. http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_2cm-70_mk234_Iowa_pic.jpg

you might want to thicken those magazines.

Huh, I just realized that. I'm pretty sure the maker intended for it to be another gunsight for some reason because it has a gun sight etched in it I'm pretty sure. I might let it go though...

A bit late to say this but Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
