Trumpeter German navy destroyer Z30

Silly question Bob, the DSPIA tool is it rotary or oscillating? Be nice for an oscillating sander. At the moment I use my Dremel with the extension tool for more control. An oscillating sander would be a useful addition!!

Bob looks like a useful tool.
Hi Paul

I think it is, not sure if a review is required?

Hi Mr wasp!

It's rotary but I also have the oscillating one. John stocks them both. Very good quality

Ah, so they do an oscillating sander. That will go on my wish list then. Thank you. Nice to know they are good.
 
I have one of those thingies as well, just a purple one- exactly the same other than the colour. I would be more impressed if they had an ordinary 'pin-vice' collet type chuck.
Getting a drill centered in these in pretty much impossible.

Totally agree on that point Ian.

Ok folks, started on the complicated hull side camouflage. Added the darker strips so white to do. Not exactly the same as the plans but it's my build lol

Was not sure which way was the best, hull red and topping first then the upper hull. So going the other way. After the white strips there's the hulls bum and topping.

Took ages to mask but very happy so far. As I have Bismarck and Tirpitz in both Tamiya and Trumpeter and Tirpitz had some lovely camo scheme, I need the practice!

Well to me it looks ok??

What do you lot think
 
Always so fun. An hour masking, three minutes to paint. Tem to clean air brush, five to remove masking.
Rinse and repeat. Lol
Worth it though.
 
Look good to me Bob.
Still trying to work out why you changed from Armour to floaty things.
I think Chris has a lot to do with this ;)
Keep going .
