Hi Russell,
Must have been unlucky with my pop shafts then. There is a stuff to replace the removed detail, and incorporate all the differences between the POW in '41 and DOY in '43
Hi Keith,
Apologies, no intention to scare anything out of anybody, most Wood decks fit with minimal or no modification modification, but this is to cover a sister ship at a different time, so makes sense to strip the all the existing detail, rather than mess about trying to remove snip odd bits out and add some new. You may want to hide behind the sofa for the next pic....
All the maindeck components cleaned up.
and fitted, almost perfect, just a lick of filler at the very bow, all down the sides and the three transverse joins, perfect.
The lower hull masked off and sprayed with Citadel Chaos Black. (I know it looks grey, but it is black, just the light)
The boot topping masked, the black does look black here.
Then shot with Tamiya TS66, yes I know it says Kure Arsenal grey on the Tin, but it is so close to AP507B, especially over a black base it works for me.
Finally the masking removed and the barbettes, main & secondary picked out in XF80 (AP507C).
Of to the Barnet model show at the RAF museum Hendon, noth London next sunday, so hope too get the deck on and some of the basic superstructure units together, then comes the stricky stuff.
Si
