Dave J Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 So my middle son and I started this the other week, only doing a about 1 hours work prior to him going to bed each night.. Total time spent on it was maybe 6-8 hours at the most. I did all the cutting, cleaning up and painting, he did all the fitting of the parts.. Its a really quick build and cheap too. I sure that I could of knocked it off in less time if it was only me building it. You really don't need to glue anything in place, but I found that some of the snap fits were to tight and cause hair line cracks on some of the parts. Then adding a enamel wash caused the parts to fall apart.. So if I was to build another one... I would most likely glue everything and see if that would stop it from braking.So here is the run down on the build...Chewy and the base of the body.. I wish I added something to scale it next to!First leg done and fitted to the base -Cockpit painted.. I used IJN Grey for the interior and Vallejo paints for the switches etc. I used the AK Interactive Grey Wash for Kriegsmarine ships 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torben Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Very nice father and son-work. The washing could be a bit stronger on some parts (piping e.g.), but the overall look is great like it is. Thank you for watering my mouth. Just ordered mine from HLJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
