Hobbyboss Heavy Cruiser POLA

Inspired by Ulf Lundberg this is my Hobbyboss RM Pola. This CHEAP kit needed ALOT of love and care to get her to any level of acceptable realism. There was just so much WRONG with her. I could easily supply a list of upgrades and DIY bits [...]

30mm CWIS

1/72 Bruno, Bismarck turret

This is the turret from Takom and wood deck. And aluminum barrels from MTW. The kit went together pretty good. The photo etched railings were very fragile and I replaced most of them with stretched sprue. Not Takom’s fault, just a big [...]
