Afternoon all
Many thanks to you all for the great interest in my seafaring efforts. I was not expecting that!! Will do my best not to c**k it up lol
Heres the sprues
The superstuctures are moulded as built which will save me a lot of time, glueing, sanding etc. Theres a lot of outlines for placing the PE doors etc, so will leave.
Now a ? It seems that the superstruture is part of the hulls sides and i think the Airfix kit is moulded as one??
Will have to see if theres a seam or it will need filling?

Been going through an attack of the old ME, hence i was a bit touchy yesterday.
Often lasts a few days, then it fades away until next time

Just asking are there any Russian ones I could have a look at, not promising but as the forum now is awash ( See what I did ) with boats/ ship I just might .

The Potemkin would be a good one to do JR with all its revolutionary and mutinous history.
Seat front and centre for this one Bob. Looking forward to seeing how you tackle this build. Good luck with all the PE.

Hi Steve, well i hope
Fun bit may be the painting, cannot beat a StuG, slap on everywhere the old panzer grey lol
Most ships are quite similar Bob….battleship grey is a colour name for a very good reason LOL…..
Stupid question time.....
With these ship kits,what sort of scale,(and that represent the best value for money), would be best for someone who struggles with any AFV smaller than 1/72nd?
....... I'm kinda guessing none!!

Hi Chris,
Sorry,it does read a bit cryptic doesn't it!
What I was trying to say was,as I struggle with building a tank that's smaller than 1/72 scale, which scale Battleship kit would be best for me to try?.....
That is IF I were to add one to the stash!!
