Thank you Mr Beef. That made a nice dent in the stocks we were clearing out. We still think it's top notch stuff and I slightly regret that they'll be harder to get for my own use in future, but as you know we just need to reduce our sales volumes due to time constraints :)

 

I'm sure you'll do a brilliant job with each of them.

BIG RE-START 22/03/2024 time to clear the shelf.

 

Well if you thought HMS York took me a while this one has been going on even longer 4 years and counting where did that time all go to.  :facepalm:

 

Anyway back underway as nearly completed the York build lots of figures to paint.  :banghead:

 

been painting some of the camouflage on the hull and gave a coat of white to the boat decks before setting in place not much to see in there.  :hypnotised:

 

Also got myself some reference material to go from.

Go Faster stripes added using White, Hellgrau 50 and Dunkelgrau 51 will need some touch up around the sticky out bits.

 

Boat deck dry fitted for now.

Good to see this going Beefy, you may well finish her before I finish mine !

 

I'd add that I like the paint job as well,

Neat work there on the dazzle camo scheme. Can see how effective it might have been full size.

I would not bet on that mind Sam Gent's thanks for the kind feedback.

 

Well looking at the bridge/ superstructure I think I have done another beefy BOO BOO.  :rage:

 

I had not realised that the Graf Zeppelin had a larger bridge for and aft compared to the Peter Strassre kit I am using a case of not checking first again.  :facepalm:

 

So going from the plans you get with the 3D Kagero book I will extend this shortfall the aft is just a case of adding another AA platform not to much I think but the forward control area looks a tad more work.

 

Just hope this doesn't take me another 4 years.  :whistle:
