Kriegsfichkutter 1/350

[beefy66]

Well calling this one done 2nd build of the year might even catch up with @Faraway at this rate  

This is the new ICM kit of the Kriegsfichkutter or an armoured trawler got three of these at the SCOT Nats the other weekend and built the basic kit up in just 28 minutes.

At 7cm long it is small and basic but I have had some fun trying to detail it with bits of spare PE and adding some crew from Tamiya and Starling Models a simple base to display and to try and get me some more inspiration for building all those stalled kits waiting on the shelf of Doom.

As a comparison for size @ArnoldAmbrose had asked me to place it near something in a similar scale well here is the Revell Tirpitz in the same scale which when built will include one of the other kits in a diorama at Kaafjord,

.   .   .  and 40 seconds. (Or was that your lunch break. 😁)

 

But seriously, that's a beautiful model. While the big ships and large models of them are very impressive, models such as yours here are very appealing. Very well done. And thanks for the size comparison. I guess I should do the same with a Flower class corvette alongside HMS Hood, both combatants in the Battle of the Atlantic.

 

Regards, Jeff.

Thanks Sam the flag is a decal from a 1/350 scale u-boat I use cooking foil wrap the decal around the foil cut to shape and glue to the uschi thread then to the mast.

 

Tirpitz will be a while yet I have a shelf to clear first.

Beefy - Small and perfectly formed - no doubt a little like yourself 

Cracking little vignette

Yes indeed, that's a charming little diorama. Outstanding in fact.

[bissyboat]

I agree to the above. Excellent work. ⚓🙌

[Bullbasket]

That's two cracking models that you've turned out in the last few weeks. Nice work on both of them Beefy.

Thank you very much for the kind words gent's this retirement lark has given me a little more time to finish off the many builds cluttering up the shelf hopefully a few more on the way.   Famous last words.
