1/600 Queen Mary 2

Looks great so far. 

I'm curious what your process is for coloing in the windows on these kits, they're always so clean. These all look molded in, but I know on past builds of yours they havent been.

This Queen Mary 2 has a bit of everything. There are the molded in windows, lots of decal windows, and a bunch of clear parts that needed to be masked and sprayed.

These are clear parts that were masked and sprayed on Queen Mary 2.

Looking great!

The 1/400 version comes with PE railings and much more plus wooden decks. The problem is finding one at a reasonable price. I would assume Revell will make some more some day in the future. If you like cruise ships it's a kit worth buying.

I too prefered the classics but a couple of years ago a group of us went on an enjoyable crusie and shortly after returning I saw the QE2 kit and grabbed it. I enjoyed it until I had to paint the balcony areas on a seemingly endless basis. I gave the finished kit to my son who loves cruising.

jefpez I'm sure the interior of the new cruise ships are amazing. Ocean liner models are a lot of repetition. Lifeboats, davits, windows......

I added most of the PE. Once the davits are installed I’ll add the boat deck railings.

Very nice!  You are a ship building machine :)

Yeah!

     I have tried ALL my sources and they either( Over the phone) go DUH? or in person Roll their eyes. What'sa matter with folks these days? I am still trying to get an old copy or Revell's Brasil/Argentina - Moore/McCormack ship. Found one. would you believe $350.00!

Is there a plastic kit of the QE 1?

I built a wood kit of it when I was a kid.  Seems to me it was a Scientific kit.  Big enough to put an electric motor in.

Don there is a plastic 1/600 kit of the original Queen Elizabeth that was made by Airfix. I built one last year. It is one of the easier Airfix kits to get a hold of on Ebay.

Thanks, Chris.

Beautiful! 

Oho!

       That's the first time I have seen AZIPOD propulsion on a model. Wait and see how many folks tell you the props are facing the wrong way! LOL.LOL. Great looking bit of shipbuilding, my friend!

       Thing is, she is taller in the cabin areas than the older ships, BUT, she still looks like a Ship, Not a Hotel and Theme Park on a Barge like most Passenger Ships look like to me today!

Thanks Don and Tanker-Builder. Yes she is as far as I will go towards the cruise ship look. I would prefer her with at least 2 less upper decks but I understand she probably wouldn't have been built without them.

Two lovely jobs shown here, well done!  I have to say, though - my favourite is the Queen Elizabeth  Great work on both of them, thanks for posting.
