discussion SMALL 1/144 LANDING CRAFT AND ZERO DIO.

[eddiesolo]

With my boat clubs 'Navy-Day' tomorrow I am getting the models I am intending to take together and I final finished a small 1/144 scale landing craft, empty, being buzzed by a Zero.

Only things to add are some small white water effects and hopefully it will dry and ready to

go.

* FINISHED PICTURES WITH FIGURES ADDED ON PAGE 2, THANKS.*

Good eye Tony, it is a Sweet 1/144 Zero; I got this ages ago in a model shop while on holiday and it sat for ages, great little kits-if you can get hold of them. Bit fiddly, decals are a tad rubbish so had to use some lacquer to fix, hence the slight shine but for the scale it all works well.

Looks even better with the white water Si . Sweet also do a 1/144 Rufe ,( ive made a couple , another superb kit from them) that would be an excellent subject for a dio with your brilliant water effects , I considered making a beach and landing stage for mine but decided I didnt have the knowledge or skills to make the water look realistic enough so didnt bother , but i'm sure you could do it no probs. cheers tony
