So as someone else also mentioned a while ago, having modelled a lot ...I fancy having a crack at a 1/350 ship . I built a 144 Uboot and the Revell 1/72 Sboot in the past couple of years as a "ship"warm up . Rather than plunge into a huge battleship build...whioch i'm not sure I'd finish , I thought I'd dip my toe into this new skill set with a smaller subject, Trumpeters Narvik class destroyer . So bring on the superglue , 20x magnifying glasses and all the other endless frustrations of building something so small. It's only 12" long ....how many parts ???

Okey dokey ....this is a step in an odd direction for me. I make tanks ....and occasionally aircraft ......not ships . Last proper ship I made was Airfix's Bismark ...in 1981 ...after reading Mullingheim-Rechberg's book . it's battered remains as found in the attic whilst clearing out the family home last year . Even a name plate made with Letraset ...I thought this was top of my art aged 13 ( althought still think Scharnhorst is a prettier ship )

Excellent looks really good , can't see a single ejector pin mark at all is that the case ? The details like the riveted ribs are exquisite. Yer paint jobs really made all of this pop as well . The IP instruments were one by one I'm guessing ? -
Missed the briefing ...

Makes you wonder where they managed to get access to one over the past year . I doubt there are any on Europe . Taofledermause Jeff likes them

Very late group build entry, Marder III.
PanzerWomble replied to 1to1scale's topic in D-Day 75th Anniversary Group Build
Yes indeed , John also did the Stug III , which now lives in Texas at a tank driving range...and allowed him to retire to Normandy . Not bad for 2 years work . Prior to that he did numerous Stugs and Pz III's based on FV432s . -
Beeeg box from Sprue Brothers….
PanzerWomble replied to Clunkmeister's topic in Modelling Discussion
I can't imagine how big that will be . Odd Fact - Did you know the Mil Mi 10 has been known to have some worrying abusive behaviours ? -

If we are necroing old stuff. My pal restored a Marder III ... ish ..and yes it drives although the final drive clutches were an absolute #### to sort out . And to help with some of the basic measurements he used that Tamaiya kit. -

PanzerWomble replied to Pete Fleischmann's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
Is this the one with the shorter nose cone ? -
I've got that one, fancy an unoffical group build ? Looks a nice model

Apparently............ the order to add stripes was given to the RAF only a couple of days before, because of the overiding security. They were literally painting them on with yard brooms in some squadrons on June 1st . They also didn't know why they were doing it, because the invsion date was such a secret . I was reading David Renders book last year about being a young tank company commander in June 1944 ..he initially thought the "aircraft with stripes" were from a new air force, they just didn't know which country had joined the Allies. NB - your Tiffies stripes look pretty good to me . 👍

The Spitfire notes from Edgar Brooks (and others)
PanzerWomble posted a topic in Research Discussion
Not my work at all , but given Edgar died in 2015 I'm guessing there is no copyright . He was one of the first people I chatted to on TOS many years ago , as he lived only a short distance away at the time and offered me some Future when it was hard to get. Nice guy .

Quinta is Russian , given embargoes I doubt they will find it easy to get a new German kit . plus they are Russian …so at some stage their exports will dry up unless they wind down their war in Europe . Personally stopped buying anything Russian
