Beautiful build of an unusual ship Timothy, excellent. Your PE adventures sound vaguely reminiscent Unusual to see a battleship in camo,
cheers,

Simply gorgeous...

Where did you get the idea for the camo from? And how well was the fit of the superstructure windows with the rest of the kit?

Cheers,

Harm

I have had the ISe for quite a while. I thought i had pretty much everything I needed for her. I was going generic with the PE as the sets were so expensive, and there was good alternate PE out there. Then i saw some of your pictues and realized i wasn't going to quite get away with it. So a quick look and I saw that the B set would fulfill those needs. I then found it and with my points only paid $65 including shipping. So, I am glad you did your build..


This is one of my favorite ships due to the unusuallness of her. Love your build
