Trumpeter 1 350 Graf Spee

[BattleshipBob]

Consider this done! Slight improvement over Tashkent,

Teachers report, must do better lol


Tried to repair the mast off the funnel, but gave up, must remember to fit close to completion in future!

Again found some parts fitted with out glue, many holes had to be drilled others too big!!

Tried wooden deck for first time, about 75% ok, need to take more time fitting, as it did not align properly in a few places and will not use deck wash again. Do like the anchor chains by the way.

Also railings, one side used PVa and other thin CA, used tattoo needles to apply and very pleased, finally found a way to apply CA which worked for me.

Weathering did not work at all and a few paint problems, all my fault! Happy with Mr color but brush wise not good!

Not that happy, but KGV will be better!

CC always welcome, can now concentrate on KGV!
