leader3 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 here is my latest build, it has taken severn months of work to finish. it is a conversion of a tamiya KGV to HMS Howe. i used WEM detail sets and wooden deck from Pontos Models, also master barrels were used on all armament. there was some scratch building involved in certain areas to get the right configuration for Howe. Trumpeter supplied the two walrus aircraft and one was converted to get it into the hanger. the model shows Howe at the Sicily landing 1943 i make no excuse for this being picture heavy HMS Howe head on over head front port quarter rear over head main bridge works midships walrus hanger rear deck and armament starboard midships. walrus ready to launch main bridge std side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shar2 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Very nice Tony, but it still looked better in the plastic. Will have to ask you about your rigging technique at the next club night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
