Tim Reynaga Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) Hi All, This is my recently completed rendition of Flyhawk’s wonderful 1/700 scale HMS Campbeltown. This was a first kit for me from this company – and wow! Things have really come a long way from the “Water Line Series” 1/700 ship models of the 1970s. Aside from replacing the slightly oversized 20mm guns and the main mast (which I broke), I made very few changes to the kit.

ArnoldAmbrose Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Gidday Tim that's a beautiful job there. And so detailed for such a small size. I did mine in 1/600 and that was fiddly enough. Yours is very well done. Regards, Jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faraway Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 A very fine, neat and tidy build. I struggle to see some parts on my 1/350 builds, and having tried to build a 1/700 ship, which was a dismal failure. I am in awe of you chaps who produce these small ships. Well done.

Courageous Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I have the same kit in my stash and it's nice to see the same kit built. She looks great on its pedestals, I'll be putting mine onto a seascape. Good job. Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clive_t Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Great work, especially given the scale I don't do ships often, but the story of HMS Campbeltown and the raid on St Nazaire Docks (Operation Chariot) is for me, among the most insane of the whole of WW2. I'd recommend anyone to go on You Tube and look for the video on the 'Timeline' channel, as told by Jeremy Clarkson - well worth an hour of anyone's time.

Bertie McBoatface Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Amazing work. It's fabulous and so tiny. How do you do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Bertie, Thanks! The model was built using pretty standard techniques, really. I do have a secret weapon: I use these US$1.00 readers from the Dollar Store with a second set of lenses from another pair taped over them. Pretty high-tech, huh? 😄 Edited November 18, 2021 by Tim Reynaga add pic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
