1/350 Aoshima IJN Kongo (WIP)

She's starting to look like a ship. The hull looks good.

Thanks.I'm happy it's starting to look like something.

The PE is really going to set that thing off.

I sure hope so.

What about that stand it's sitting on? I thought I saw it sitting on a different stand in an earlier pic or was it something else?

That stand provided in the kit is useless.I raided my Trumpeter Richelieu for another.Same kind the Roma is mounted on.

Oh, okay. The one it's on now looks better anyway.

Plodding right along.

Starting to get her tightened up there a little bit. Looking good.

Thanks.So far,so good.Hope it stays that way.

Moving along nicely,your brass work is really good

Thanks.Haven't gotten to the really tough stuff yet.

It's coming along nicely TD.  Is the dark grey on color of the styrene or is that a paint color?  The PE work you're doing is very nice and I hope to do as nice a job on my next build.

Thanks.The darker grey is the styrene.I'm using Testors Gunship Grey paint.That was the darkest grey the LHS had in stock.I did look for a darker shade.

Looking really best build.

I would refrain from painting those battens on the linoleum decks, or if you do, dark gray.

Very clean and well thought out

Thanks.Could you be a little more specific about what not to paint?Which decks are linoleum/corticene?

Looking good. Props on the painting work!

Thanks.Tedious paint work is probably my only strength in 1/350 ships.

Instructions like this make me want to whip somebody's a$$!
