Pete's Revell 1\144 Corvette HMS Snowberry

[peterairfix]

I got this one second hand it is started but only the hull which has been prepared for RC but I will be doing static only the rest of the kit is thankfully untouched,but the rear deck has been cut narrow so I will make a replacement the middle deck is OK and the bow deck is missing but lucky I have 10 sheets of planked plasicard that I have have for a while and at last I have found a use for.
Now for the pics[ATTACH]272970[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]272971[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]272972[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]272973[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]272974[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]272975[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]272976[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]272977[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]272978[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]272979[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]272980[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]272981[/ATTACH]

WOW!!

That is really cool that you are doing a RC version, she is looking magnificent!

That should keep you busy for a couple of hours with the speed you build Peter! Take it easy after your op. Hope everything is healing ok.

Nice size too.

Made a start on curing the deck problems I have one of the original deck sections but it has been cut narrow so I have placed a piece of planked plasticard underneath and the rest of the decks will have to been scratch built as they are missing[ATTACH]274214[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]274215[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]274216[/ATTACH]

If its OK with the mods I would like to carry on this thread but with my 1\144 scale snow berry as my 1\72 i can't get the missing decks any more.
I would be grateful the title could be changed to 1\144 on the scale front.[ATTACH]286202[/ATTACH]

[peterairfix]

As I have bad luck with the 1\72 I have started on the 1\144 version and I have finished the hull,painted and hopefully a good lot of rust in the right places[ATTACH]287357[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]287358[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]287359[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]287360[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]287361[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]287362[/ATTACH]

That looks gery nice indeed.

I hadn't realised how much detail they would add to this smaller scale and from your pictures it looks really good. Think i might have to search this one out myself at some point.

Hope it all continues well.

Bad luck with those decks. Its a pity.
Still you bounced right back with the 1/144 job. Nice work.
