1/600 Airfix HMS Nelson.....COMPLETE!

Cool paint job on a nice clean build.  I've always thought these ships were some of the neatest looking ever built.  Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the compliments.I sure wish I could have found a few more reference pics.Especially from the top.

I've always thought the ship looked odd, but it does stand out.

Nice, neat job makes an old kit look very good !

Thanks for posting the photos.

Thanks.There are no two ways about it,the Nelson class ships were definately odd looking.The strange camo doesn't help.

Gotta' love the Brits. Nicely done. I'm sure that masking all of those curved lines was NOT fun.

Thanks.Only the waterline and lower hull were masked and sprayed.The rest was done free-hand with bristle brushes.Bit of a job that was.

Freehand! A man after my own heart ... in that scale - 1/700 for me - and with my usual auxiliaries, it'd take longer to mask that it would to apply the few swipes of camouflage paint!

Another great job.  I like the clean assembly of the model as well as the excellent finish. I'm going to use your ships as inspiration for my Warspite in the Airfix GB.

Thanks Nav.I'm itching to get my hands on the Warspite as well.I hear you are given a choice of paint schemes with that kit.
