Trumpeters USS Hornet in 1:350
I finished the USS Hornet in January 2006. The kit leaves a lot to be wished for. The general shape of the hull is incorrect and the stem in particular is faulty and very clumsy. I strengthened it from the inside with pieces of scrap [...]
Trumpeter's Jeremiah O'Brien in 1:350. A Liberty Ship.
Liberty ships were mass produced during WW2 to meet the losses caused by the german U-boats. Jeremian O'Brien is one of the two Liberty ships in the world that is still preserved, lying moored in San Francisco as a museum ship. She is kept [...]
Heller’s Gneisenau in 1:400
Hellers Gneisenau in 1:400 was my first build of a major ship, where I went out of my way to improve an old kit. The Gneisenau was also the first build, where I documented everything I did with a camera.
At this time, around 2004, Heller [...]
Schlachtschiff König
I finished the König in August 2003. She was my first battleship build in 1:350 and a very important step for me as a modeller.
Although ICM's kit is some fifteen years old now, it's still a good kit and in one respect a better kit than [...]
USS Buchanan in 1:350
The USS Buchanan was one of 66 Gleaves Class destroyers, a typical representative of the destroyers the US built during the years before the war.
She served in the Pacific during most of the war, starting with the battles around [...]
Bismarck in 1:350
I finished Revells Bismarck in february 2011. The kit is a major improvement over Tamiyas old kit, but it does not compare in quality with modern ones from Hasegawa, Dragon or Bronco. In one respect however it is better than most plastic [...]
Admiral Hipper
Trumpeters Admiral Hipper, that I built in the spring of 2012, is typical of their ship kits. It's basically a good kit but nothing extraordinary.
The build began, as usual, with the tedious and time consuming job of filling and sanding [...]
USS NORTH CAROLINA IN 1:350
Rick Wilkes asked for some battleships, so here is one.
I built Trumpeters USS North Carolina in 2008 and she was my first big battleship in 1:350.
The build started with my strengthening the hull, using plastic from the base plate [...]
Takao in 1:350
Ever since I saw this picture (link)
in that thick book about warships that I borrowed from the Stockholm public library over and over as a kid, I've wanted to build the Takao. She was the meanest and koolest looking ship I had ever [...]
Yahagi. Building Hasegawa's kit in 1:350
The Yahagi was one of four Agano-class cruisers. They were designed to be torpedo squadron leaders which explains their strong torpedo armament and their relatively weak artillery. The Yahagi was launched on the 25 October 1942 and had a [...]
