Hello everyone!
This is my first ship. I started it about year and a half ago, puttering mostly. I was inspired by some photos I saw on the net by a modeller named Dargies while I was looking for some info on a particular aircraft, and felt that I just had to do it. I used three CMK interior kits, the Eduard PE, Yankee Modelworks PE, a resin figure set, lots of scratchbuilding, replaced all of the weld lines and most of the rivets using the Archer set, Archer Flag set. I opened up all the flood slots and added a support behind each rivet line(can only see when held at the right angle, with the right light), added to the saddle tanks to allow opening of the central drainage area with supports, oil canned the hull, textured the pressure hull, fabricated the upper pressure hull and added some piping that can be seen if held the right way. I was going to add the wood deck, but changed my mind due to the cost. Here are some photos of the entire build.
Thanks
Rob
