Another addition to the fleet

[Shar2]

This is the Academy Admiral Graf Spee special edition in 1/350th. A really nice kit with wooden decks, Photo Etch, brass turned barrels for the main, secondary and heavy AA weapons. Quite pleased with the result.















I've since added some etched 20mm cannon as the kit ones were too clunky. In time I will also replace the twin 20mm's as well.

I have thought about the Zeppelin, particularly in 1/350th, but I have too many projects at the moment to even contemplate a complex scratchbuild.

1/35th?

Hope you can find a suitable hamngar to display it in. Apparently Cardington has one vacant.

DOH! amended to intended 1/350th

Thanks for the nice comments.

As a little something different, this AFV Club 1/350 Type XXI U-boat was built in 8 1/2 hrs as part of Britmodellers Blitzbuild GB.

Thanks Nicholas, I thought I might have overdone the weathering, but having seen pics of U-Boats from the war, they did get into a terrible state.
