Ross Jackal North Sea Trawler 1/144
Hello everyone. This is my take on the classic kit by Revell.
All deck details were scratch built. New winches, metal masts, nets, deck dividers as well as all the railing.
The figures are 3D printed from Shapeways. Dolphins are made of [...]
The Walrus

WIP: Bf109 E-7 Cockpit
