Revell Carrier Shinano

[Sherman 18]

A green carrier for me

Were these things really green? :idonno

Not sure if it was green or not. With an operational lifespan of only a few weeks though I can imagine there won't be much information on the paint scheme.

 

[MrT]

Yes it was green.

Start date photos and I started to stick it together. Not much to it and if you leave a part out it makes it faster :facepalm

after an hour this is where I am. Need to start painting, but with the weather being so cold it will have to wait.

Here is where I left the part out, you should not be able to see though the hull at the rear. Going to have to live with it. I tried to pop the upper piece out, but could not with really damaging the rest of it.

I had to knock down the pins for the superstructure to get it to fit right.

What a neat little model. what happened to U Sherm? Got the ship Bug?? :v The USS Archerfish sank her with 6 torpedos despite the efforts of her 3 DD escorts. Good thing too! Armored deck and nearly 100 IJN aircraft, might have mad quite a difference at Okinawa.

Ship bug? Maybe a little, I really want to do my sons boat when Hobby Boss releases it, so I thought why not practice some hyeah Plus ship models are cool and I want to expand some.

I just can't believe I left out a big part :pinch:

I did find some information as how this carrier is on the bottom. Looks like it broke in two.

I get sick just driving past the Harbor

I do like watching you guys build ships though - Must be some perverse african thing

And in primer now!

Now with green. Not sure what is with the plastic on this kit, it does not want to take paint :idonno

I was also having issues with paint drying today/night :pinch: And it does not help when I mixed it way to thin :facepalm
