HMS Warspite

[Graham D]

Well, it's finally finished. I learnt a lot on the use of photo etch and airbrushing with this kit. Here are some final photos

stunning work. the amount of pe just on the masts alone scares me! loving the crispness on the cammo lines.

Superb build Graham.....Good thing I only build OOB. How you people cope with this P.E. stuff is beyond me!

Thanks for the comments.

Derek, I put gel cynoacrolate at the end of each rail and a couple of spots along the length. When it is dry I thinned down Deluxe Materials RC Modellers Craft Glue which is a white glue and "painted" it along the join between the guard rails and the deck with an old brush. It is used as a canopy glue, so dries clear, but shiny.

Superb work Graham. Lots of detail in that build, nice work on the paint and PE. You should be proud of this build.

Super job. Can you tell me what you have. Used to paint the deck. I love that color.

The deck is an after market self adhesive wooden veneer. As this was the special edition of the kit, it came with the kit along with the photo etch.
