ChrisSC Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I decided to build another 1/600 Airfix kit, RMS Queen Elizabeth 2. This kit is also kind of hard to find and a bit pricey. The box is a little messy but the kit is complete and in good condition. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knb.1451 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Fantastic work, I really loved this kit. Easily their best civilian vessel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 And probably the nicest looking ocean liner of them all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansReggelsen Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) Having this kit myself, your WIP is most welcomed! When I eventually start mine up, I'll use it as a guide! Now - where's my Mike Oldfield 'QE2' CD? Cheers Hans J Edited December 23, 2020 by HansReggelsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntPhillips Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 That really is a neat and tidy looking build so far, it's going to look as sharp as your SS France build 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robgizlu Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 What a beautiful looking model. You are doing it more than justice, your modelling is soveery keen and precise. My Friend was a medical Officer aboard so I had a guided tour a few years before she was decommissioned. All extremely impressive including the medical set-up with at least one fully equipped operating theatre! Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSC Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Thanks so much robgizlu. I have started to add some photo etch to QE2. Mostly railings and some odds and ends. Railings are challenging for me when they have curves and angles on the same piece. Edited December 30, 2020 by ChrisSC 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisSC Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 I installed the lifeboats and davits on my 1/600 QE2. Next things to do will be the mast, props, anchors, and lots of railings around the davits. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxelH Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Hey, you did a real good paintjob!! And also fine-tuning the model with the photo-etched parts is nice. I had that model kit from the eighties in a newer designed box when I was little, but messed it up with the painting. I miss those liners from the model kit makers nowadays, maybe there is not such demand as with war ships is? 🤔 Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
