The only thing I don't like about it is, I couldn't build anything this good, and I do love the way he manages to make plastic/resin look like rusting metal, I'm quite sure I haven't seen this build from Kostas before, a new model maybe, the light either way really makes this stand out, and swap the lighter, a tin of Revell paint maybe ? A great build

Another divine scale wonder, congratulations on a fine build.
1/700 scale builds like this act as an inspiration to push the envelope to produce models that show off details often limited to larger scales.

Obviously very well done. Small points of critique. I love the weathering and I have never seen rust patches done that way. Love to see how he did that. However, just as I said about his Missouri build before, I have NEVER seen a US capital ship in that state of disrepair. During WWII the camo patterns changed on US ships nearly yearly. So no ship would go more than a year /o a total repaint and usually a refit as well.
Kostas: seriously, do a tutoral on your water and weathering tech.
