NH-90  Revell 1/72

HP Models Batttleship Gneisenau, after rebuilt project  1/700.

A very nice kit for a project that never built. The Gneisenau was seriously damaged the night of 26-27/2/1942 in Kiel from a RAF bomb attack. The German Navy had decided to rebuilt and reconstruct the ship. But the Gneisenau decommissioned at 1/7/1942.

The HP resin model kit is a very nice kit. It has fine casting and very sharp detail! The 38 cm turrets have metal barrels. However we used Flagship metal masts,PE antennas from Toms modelworks and other PE parts like 20 mm from Fine molds. A three grey camouflage was selected using as usual Vallejo acrylics.

A pleasant, straight from the box construction of the classic Italeri kit. As always I use Vallejo acrylic colours and varnishes. We wanted to build a “clean” model so there is the result!

                               1/400 AIDA LUNA CRUISE SHIP by REVELL

      The cruise ships are a very strange category of models. Especially the kit of AIDA. Difficult construction and colors! A lot of white combined with yellow decks!!! Terrible. I decided to make a piece by piece painting and then assembly. First of all the hull of course and then deck by deck. For the white parts I preferred to use a gloss white from Humbrol this time. All the other colors are from Vallejo. I was asked to present this construction with a display case. The material of course was Plexiglass. So after a couple of months fighting with the white color there is the result!!!
