Nice work Peter. What colour did you use for the hull red? A Humbrol colour? It's a good used look for a ship that's been in the sea for a while. A little bit of rust and staining around that hull and it will look very good.

Gone and done it now Peter. That is a real big one.


Just finished last night Bismark the Epic Chase by James Crossley.


Read other Bismark books but this one is very interesting as it tells


of the characteristics of each ship (their armoured construction guns direction


equipment and Radar), each of the Admirals involved, the Captains of the


Ships. On top of that the details of the Swordfish and Catalina and their crews.


It is a case of the wolves hunting down a single large prey. A RN ship bolting off


in a 180 degree cock up. Ships running out of fuel. A Gale force 9 with Vian's


destroyers making 27 knots what a sight that must have been for the Swordfish Pilot.


Ark Royal turning around and steaming away from the wind in the F9 gale to enable


the Swordfish to take off unprecedented. And the Hood.


Look forward to this and Bismark incredible boat.

Top work Peter, the red anti-foul colour is spot on, it is a more pinkie/dark not a bright red as many folk think.

Here is my next updates some of the main decels are on the hull and the main deck is in place and given a spray of tamiya wooden deck tan

[peterairfix]

And just to add i have emtied the tub of all its bits and this i what was in there

[peterairfix]

Just a quick update I have now started on the superstructure but there seems to quite a lot to be done so comments welcome

Glad this one didn't get sunk (sorry for the pun) 'cause it is such a nice model. So big!
