Review of HMS King George V - 1:350 Tamiya

[spanner570]

Derek, good to see this up and running...has your wife completed her 'Projects' then?

When I look at the wooden deck add-on all I can see is the big grain on the piece of veneer/plywood. I'm sure it will have the scale planking too but I can't see it......

When are you starting the actual build mate?

Yes Ron the 2014 maintenance program is complete (at the moment).
Here is a close-up of the wooden deck, the planking is 1mm wide = 350mm which is too large, but I suppose that's as close as practical. Normal planking on ships is roughly 150 to 175mm, see the sailors feet on the second photo.

I hope to make a start mid August, as I have HMS Roberts to finish first.

Cheers Derek

Thanks for the pictures, Derek. Close up the MK1 decks are very impressive.

What's the ship in the picture? The uniforms look German.....

Ah, yes, the three triple turrets all forward of the bridge.
