Evening Brian
My apologies for the late welcome, not a well chap at present, worse ME flare up since was diagnosed.
I am very much an apprentice at ship building and am working on a 1 350 KGV with lots of the dreaded PE, I use this from i think the small shop for cutting it off a sprue, I use to use a tile but found it too hard. This is perfect for me anyway
Really like your progress and your PE is better than my efforts lol. Keep up the good work.
I plan to build a few 1 200 ships starting with Arizona, Bismarck and Yamato but have a lot of learning to do!

B20... I can only give you for 1942, if that's any good. That would be Vallejo Model color 904. Dark Blue Grey (the Vallejo names are a bit naff so no worries if the name sounds wrong.
But I have to ask. what scheme are you going for. late 1945? The grey on grey or one of the more 'colourful' versions.
904 looks pretty close :smiling3:
I'm doing Royal Navy 1944 standard scheme A
there is like a blue/grey block port and stbd sides

Morning all, did an hour or so this morning.
Going to have a rest from the small stuff and start the hull, drilling out portholes and paint, I'll post my progress as and when.

In '44 she had the 'standard disruptive paintwork' The standard A scheme was put on in 45 after a refit in the US.

Really? Whys that? LOL
That is a lot of very small parts to bling up with PE. If it was myself, I think I would need a lay down for a week :smiling6:

Cracking work Brian. I must confess the disruptive camo is eye-catching.
Thanks for the heads up Ian.

Did a bit today and got fed up drilling porthole out by hand, ordered a Dremel lite. Also had to mod the shaft exit from the hull the hole is way too large.

Just wait til you get to the square windows. (Top tip buy plasters ).
Stick at it Brian, it's going great. Really neat work. Being 1/700 I didn't have to drill out portholes on my HMS Rodney
