(KIT Trumpeter) USS DETROIT AOE-4 1/700 (finished)

subfixer

You are right the hull red was not very well painted but feel that the next will be better
Painting the antenna forgot me

She looks really good. I would suggest, however, that you paint the radar antenna as it seems to be raw brass photo etch. And, since you have weathering for the tpside of the ship, that the red hull is a bit to "clean".

For all of you

One more picture but with natural light, a little more visible!
(Unfortunately this is my worst model)

Lol, dont worry. Thanks for taking the time to post the new pics, much more of the ship is in focus in these. Looks pretty good!

Do not take my advice the wrong way, but I think you should consult an ophthalmologist.
The other one I put three more pictures of them in detail (close-up)
I hope that will be more visible

Alex,

Very nice job!  It's great to see a naval auxiliary as a modeling subject.  Other than Revell's T-2 kit "Mission Capistrano," I have not seen a navy oiler in any other kit.   These are very interesting ships.  It would make for a great diorama to show an AOE UNREPing a combatant with hoses and highlines connected and moving the goods across the gap!

Thanks for sharing!

Looks pretty cool from what I can tell although a lot of the close ups are unfortunately out of focus so its hard to see some of the detail.

Spectacle; is the 1st time I see this model with hoses for refueling, and holders the rails with ascale of 1 / 700. Very good all together
