HMS Warspite by gdollow - Academy - scale 1/350 - PLASTIC


Recommended Posts

This is my progress so far on Academy's HMS Warspite special edition.  It comes with extra PE and gun barrels. I also bought extra PE oelikons and pomp pomp guns.  he oelikon body proved too delicate for me, so I used the shields and bases and the plastic gun from the kit.

More progress.  I bought an oerlikon PE kit, but the gun body was so delicate, that I could not bend it without breaking it, so I used the bases of the pe kit and use the plastic gun body.  BTW to show the size of the oerlikon guns, I have put it on a 5p piece.

 

The last picture shows the first bit of superstructure and the rigging of the booms.  I am using E-Z thread for all the rigging.

Hi,

 

This is looking very nice.  Photo etch adds so much to these ships.

 

would you mind telling me the overall length of the model?

 

Cheers
