And after a period of no production for moving... DD441 continues
So back in full swing on my Wilkes project and thought I would post an update, starting to add PE and all the little parts, I am especially happy with how my dual 40mm tubs turned out, scratchbuilt them from Dragon quad 40s and Gold Medal PE.
4 additional images. Click to enlarge.

beautiful...what a huge bootstripe

Are you looking at the large band of color? If so it is not a bootstripe it is the measure 22 cammo, grey and navy blue, the boot stripe is a thin line between the red and blue. đŸ™‚

Very impressed & sure I will be even more so when it is done.

Thanks guys, I will be glad to see her done, but she has been a fun build. The deck decals gave me fits though, lots of silvering despite a pre coat of Future, micro sol, and more Future, I would go aftermarket decals for walkways next time. Dragon's decals on all their kits can be problematic.

Nice work, ship modeling has come a long way since the Revell "S" kits. But the cost of the plastic ship kits has gone through the roof but you get what you pay for. I look forward to your application of the PE railings, they can "make or break" the model. Continued success on this project!
