Here is the Nichmo 1/200 I-19 and older kit I built in just 2 days. Had a lot of fun with it and it made a great Debut for the War in the Pacific GB! A whole lot of great stuff going on there! Spectacular builds! ![Bow [bow]](/emoticons/icon_smile_bow.gif) Finished the Sub but ran into problems with the decals. For some odd reason they are decals and not dry transfers but are reversed like that. Kinda works like an old cracker jack tatoo where you wet the back push it on and peel off the paper backing after some time. Losey system. Can't see it to position it and it wont move when applied. Add that they are old and it was not good. I don't wanna take the time to measure straight lines and such on a completed build to get things all aligned so I just applied the whole sheet to some metal foil to keep them from falling apart which some still did.  You can see how well they were not working. Had to paint the hironmusmooie things by hand. (meatballs)  Anyways I took my left over railings from the Gorizia and cut off the bottom rail and made it look like the pics. Not too shabby adapting 1/350 t0 1/200 scale. Had to give up on the cutting the decals the metal foil was just too finicky but I used enough to give it something to show for itself! Also added another small single railing around the conning tower.        Took a few liberties showing the aircraft under the rigging and the hydroplanes extended instead of fold atop each other and stowed but it turned out pretty good for a quick build. Thanks for looking! |
