Quick update on the Graf Spee build – after many days of working on the photo etch rails and the general building got things to a point I was ready to finish the model.\u00a0 Have to say that this trumpeter kit was amazing.\u00a0 Most of my experience was from 25+ years ago and the quality of the kit is outstanding compared to the old Matchbox days!\u00a0 I added some standard photo etch KM rails and rather than having a set made it much less pressure on “needing” to complete them so I have only done a few on this model.\u00a0 A few rails later and I have a good idea how to stick them best and enjoying it on my next model the Prinz Eugen.<\/p>\n

Here are a selection of pics – \"IMG_0742\"<\/a> \"IMG_0743\"<\/a> \"IMG_0744\"<\/a> \"IMG_0746\"<\/a> \"IMG_0747\"<\/a> \"IMG_0748\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The last pic is with the base hull of the Prinz Eugen and amazed how much bigger it is!\u00a0 So small – no wonder they ran from a the 3 British cruisers as it cant be much bigger than our lights were….\u00a0\u00a0 until I get the white ensign British cruisers at 1\/700 wont be sure:)<\/p>\n

Next posts will be all Prinz Eugen in 1940\/1941 “Baltic camo” – roughly like this!<\/p>\n
