Aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal 1939 1:350 by Merit International

October 21, 2024 · in Ships · · 9 · 196

Hello everyone!

I'm continuing to expand my collection in my favorite scale. This time, I present to you a model of the HMS "Ark Royal" as of 1939, produced by with Very Fire photo-etched parts. I built this during the height of the quarantine, so I had plenty of time and inspiration. The most challenging part was dealing with the large number of deck aircraft models, which are not my usual area of expertise.

  9. Very nice work, I have but I haven't built yet...maybe I would have added some preshading and some subtle weathering to give more volume.
    Congratulations.
