The paint job is a bit crude, the primer is used was botched and really ruined the finish however im still happy enough with the result, i painted the pendant on however for my next ship I might make some custom decals.
I do own the trumpeter HMS Queen elizabeth, but was always frustrated by how its a waterline model, i picked this stl from Cults3D for £2 and printed it to 1/700, the flight deck is fully hand painted and as such might be a bit crap and is heavily weathered. I printed custom decals for the R09 pennant and flightscreen, i have a few more things to do buts its 99.9% Completed

Someone gifted me both Sheffield and Coventry so I made Coventry into a display full hull ship and has a bit of fun with Sheffield. She is quite weathered in this and in her Falklands configuration, i tried a new Gray for the RN im quite happy with it, Lastly the Sea might look a bit flat as I have quit using my airbrush so all is brushpainted! (First time nearly all PE bits on!)
First model after taking a little break, also first model for quite some time that i 100% Brush painted after my airbrush broke and I decided i prefer Hand painting, im pretty happy with how its come out and it completes my 1/700 collection (photo at end)
First time applying a camo scheme on a ship of this scale and using revell weathering powders to weather the lower hull, im quite happy with it just need the planes added, the pictures do it an injustice and emphasise alot of the weathering which is actually more subtle
Solid kit, little issue assembling it, a rather small ship compared to the rest of ly Expanding 1/700 Collection (image at end)
At long last a Soviet Battleship for my ww2 Ship collection (last image), The Novorossiysk was originally an Italian "Conte De Cavour" class drednought which was transferred to the Soviet navy in 1949 and mysteriously blew up in 1950, this kit is from SSmodels and is resin, my first resin kit im quite happy with how it turned out!
2nd time building this kit. No issues with the parts and easy enough build.... and looks amazing (Might be biased as its my fav. Battleship)
A fine addition to my growing 1/700 Collection

Hi, I got to thinking why doesnt the Royal Navy build a couple of these Corvettes HEAVILY off the design of the Batch 2 river class OPV to replenish hull numbers as the Frigates dwindle - the Design doesnt make major overhaul and can be easily built as the B2 River Class is fairly new and rather large for an OPV and is the only class where all ships arent under maintaince - the Design could include weapons such as a 40mm BOFORS gun or somthing similar and x8 sea ceptor missiles.

Would this work? I have Crudley put an image together of what such a vessel could look like.
Been after a Bremen for some time as she is my favorite ocean liner of all gome, finally gotten one for the collection!!!
Decided to pick this up to add to my new 1/700 Battleship collection! Super easy build and I'm happy with the results
Spectacular models (both Trumpeter)
These are both Trumpeter models and were a delight to build!
New Airfix kit, Decals galore but a solid kit with no issues, quite happy with how it turned out... im thinking of getting the other eurofighter duo sets Airfix sell
Picked this up to get me out of my model fatigue, quick east build and came out looking good in my opinion, used tamiya XF-53 for it.
Super good kit and first time i have toyed with Flight deck weathering!
(Ignore the paint on the sign 😅)
- far better than the Revell kit I have previously posted - i got this quite cheap on an Ebay auction and couldn't be happier with the quality of the Kit - no fitting issues whatsoever
