Greetings fellow modelers! This is Trumpeter's 1/700 scale Graf Spee kit I am building for my friends at Stevens Intl. She, (or is it he for German warships?), will be OOTB except for the addition of P/E railings. The humble beginnings:
The color plan I will be following:
The hull glued and painted:
Boot stripe added:
Painting and washing the decks:
Here I have the main deck fitted to the hull:
Main deck glued with deck details picked out in MM light sea gray:
The upper decks also got painted and washed:
Next was the construction of the upper deck houses:
Here's the bridge and funnel:
And here is the superstructure mounted to the upper deck. I also started the rigging:
That's it for now. I hope to have an update soon. Thanks for lookin' and comments/critiques always welcome! Happy modeling,
Mark
