Revell 1/720 DKM Graf Zeppelin 1946 Revisited

[Rhino]

The third shade for GZ's camo will be light gray. Undersides of the gun tub/sponsons will remain white, to offset the shadows of overhanging structures. I haven't decided what to do with the horizontal surfaces or island yet. I will try to think up something.
Thanks again for looking in!

I chose WSW's nifty resin cast 105 twins for GZ's main battery. The Bunker Studio twin 128mm mounts would be cool, but impractical for Naval use.

Finding a spot to sight the radar antenna isn't too hard to figger out. I fear the sponsons are just a shade to narrow to mount the deadly 128mm cannons.
It was worth a shot.

You think a narrow sponson would stop them??
Arm that thing up.

I got Trumpy's 1/350 version in the stash just sitting there.

Hmm this thread started 6 years ago on a build that started 16 years ago. I think we need to do a shelf queen build and come up with an award for the oldest build that gets finished.
I can garantee that I have at least 2 builds that go back to the 80's.

OOoooooo! The Big Model!
This GZ is modified from the original vessel and the crude old Revell tooling a little bit. Forward barbettes are removed. No clunky basket trolleys for launching aircraft. A cooler crane. A lot more AA guns. Improved radar. Stuff like that.
