HMS Bellona by Frecap - Corel - 1:100

Hi!

After holding the already painted body in my hands, it is not very pleasant to see it with peeled-off sides. I'm in a hurry to return the model to its former appearance, correcting mistakes along the way. Painted again, using masking tape as a separator. Since PVA glue does not adhere well to acrylic paint, I left unpainted strips for the rails to be glued.

Hello everyone!

Finally, the model has taken the same appearance as it did before the upgrade! New rails have been installed. They are made of a pear-shaped slat  with a 1x1 mm cross-section, which has been pre-shaped. When I looked at numerous photos of museum models, I noticed that in many cases, the  waist  rail was wider than the others, so I decided to do the same. I didn't have a 1x1.5 mm rail, so I glued another 0.5 mm rail to the existing one, rounding its edge first. Since the  waist  rail runs along the main deck, interrupted by the gun ports, I glued it in short sections.
