Revell 1/144 Schnellboot Fast Attack Boat.

Well this floaty thing as been looking at me from the far corner of the bench for a while now so I thought I would try to do a little more to see how it goes. I need a boat builders opinion as to whether I have got the waterline right as doesn't look right to me, but what do I know? [ATTACH]437009[/ATTACH]
Perhaps this type of model is not for me, but I will do some more work to try and save it from the bin.

HI Andy your water line i think looks a shy low at the bow the pointy end just raise the black up a little an then it would look ok but see what others think but have a look at my norfolk an you can see the black water line curves upwards hope you dont mind my pic on your thread if you do i'll remove it

Thanks for the info Chris but as the black line is a decal it will have to stay and no worries about you posting the picture in my thread.

OK Andy if its a decal cant you just add matt black in a curve goin up about a quater of an inch as to me looking at your boat its looks like that it started to go down about midships along the hull an how long is your hull ?

Keep at it Andy. It's looking ok to me. Not that I'm a boaty expert.

Andy,
I reckon that Chris is right BUT It would take a lot of work to correct what is a pretty minor point. I'd say go on and complete!!!!

SEE Andy Dave aggrees to finish the model so please please dont bin it as i would like to see her completed as ive just an idea ive got in my mind but this would make a really nice R/C model in 1/72 scale or 1/48th an if you finish your model i can see if its worth thinking about if im not too old by then lol

Crack on mate it certainly looks respectable even if it is a bit out, don't suppose anyone's gonna be getting out the tape measure.

Thanks for all the positive replies chaps. As I have done only the one side I may try to do a better job on the other side and if I take photos from the good side who will know? well, only everyone who looked at the bad side! :smiling5:

Andy, the black line on these boats was straight.
So the decal supplied with the kit is correct......

Sleep easy.
