Guys what thickness EZ Line for 1/200 ships ?

**Ian M** · 13 October 2023, 11:55

For the sake of your sanity I would suggest the medium. In scale you would want extra fine but... 1, you cant see it. 2, almost impossible to work with.

Not sure I understand what you mean Chris

Hood did have I'd markings on top of her A turret most info points to it being a blue and red roundel it was quite large and covered most of the top. I think a 1inch blue with a 1/2 inch red will do the job.
The letters Chris is referring to is the ships name. It didn't have a name plate but individual letters fixed to the superstructures. In peace time polished brass, painted out in war time,
