By wglasford July 21, in - Kit build logs for subjects built from - Present Day. I strive for museum quality construction so I needed a model with plenty of add-on kits and large enough to show the fine detail of the ship. In addition to purchasing the kit itself I purchased the following:. After gluing together the hull I oil canned the sides. With a model this large you want some realism and not large smooth sides. I included pictures of the original oil canning bow and stern.

It's me again. I must be crazy as a loon for starting two build logs at the same time, but I figured that hey, since I'm building both models at the same time, why not? Luckily, I've been posting tons of pictures of my progress on my model warship forum so I'm able to pick out some of the more interesting ones to post here. After I sold my Scarab, I was itching to build another big boat. I still may do that someday - if I live long enough, but now I'd power it with an electric motor. They've come a long way in the past few years. But then I happened to run across Trumpeter's big model of this battleship, and when I started investigating and found that there was oodles of detail add-on's I was hooked. No, I didn't get enough for my Scarab to offset the cost of all this, but hey, as I told my wife, it keeps me out of the bars, right? Damn well better take my time and do it right, huh? The box this monster came in is huge! And once you open it up it's overwhelming; 4 boxes marked A-D plus the hull and the larger superstructure pieces. The box says there are pieces, which I have no reason to doubt, plus 13 frets of photo-etch and a 44 page assembly manual. This is definitely NOT some kid's plastic toy boat!

But I found a bloke who did a full build using this PE , so I sucked it up and got their kit , all was there this time round. You just saved me a bunch of money. If the Iowa is anything like this I won't be buying it either. For all that's Holy, why can't they get the Bow and Stem correct according to photos and plans. They also never include the Below the waterline Bulb, However small on any ship that has one!. Look at the Box Art. Look at the Wisconsin here at home or the Missouri in Pearl then Compare.

By vossy November 20, in Plastic model kits. Its all part of Kev's journey, bit like going to the dark side, but with the lights on. I've got both; the Pontos kit is more complete especially with the "advanced detail set" and has a better wooden deck. Still, the KA set is not bad at all. I just have the Pontos for the Bismark. Thier first set,I still have to get theiur second set for the Bismark. The wood decks are also the correct style with the correct edge nibbing of the planks. Now I have been building wooden ship models for over the past year,with these kits above put back on the waiting to continue shelf.

Paravane cable would be one of the things that would have been stowed in a reel on the foredeck, possibly under a canvas cover. Don Stauffer. These are an invaluable source if you plan on doing any extra detailing on your model. How are things down on the other side of the world? GMorrison Member since September One guy painted this part a light grey, good for the modern version, but not the s era ship. HooYah Deep Sea. No trimming or Bondo needed. The main reason I bought this additional kit was for the brass screws and also for the Veterans Models 40mm Quad Bofors gun platforms.

Like Tanker, the fact that no one appears to be able to read body plans and put the bulb on the bow is vexing. Go to topic listing. Amazing Art No? In addition to purchasing the kit itself I purchased the following:. That bow is clearly not the shap of Kentucky's, and is an exaggerated form of NJ's Like Tanker, the fact that no one appears to be able to read body plans and put the bulb on the bow is vexing. For example, here are their instructions for assembling the rotating drive mechanism for the catapults. I've subscribed to him as well. As for biulding your own bulbous bow, check out this shot as it shows the extend of the hull lines from the bulb on back. After these, the rest was fun - so they said!
