“The model depicts HMS Warspite as she was in 1940,” says Jose. “Despite building more than 200 kits, including many sailing ships, U-boats, torpedo boats, flying boats, and others, this was my first attempt at a battleship. I chose her because she was the most-decorated ship in the Royal Navy.” Jose assigned L’Arsenal figures to Academy’s 1/350 scale ship, used Tamiya paints for basic colors, and applied Vallejo paints for washes and dry-brushing.
