The Ship Model Forum

Hello everybody with each other.

Finally, I have brought and have built my first 700th ship model.
Oliver Hazard Perry Class concerns the US frigate.
I have shown the USS Wad Sworth (FFG 9) like they in the 4/29/1983 was seen.
The model is a kit of the company PIT-ROAD what I have bought by chance this year on an exhibition.
The kit is a really kit for the start in the 700th class from my view.
There are almost no difficulties with the assembly and also the passport exactness is not bad.
At the moment there is the same kit of Dragon with Photo Etch with which one can build the model certainly even better.
The rail which I used were only some Rester which practice to me a model construction colleague to given ones, which is why also no rail in the upper deck is not right. Also I lack into the bargain the necessary Tool.

However, now for the moment a pair of pictures for You.
I hope it has gone off not too. has arose.

Looks great Olaf, wish my first model would have looked that good! Very close to your source picture

It looks great considering the fact that it is your first build in 1/700. Keep up the good work.

I am pleased much about it.

What a great effort, the sea effect is very nice especially with the heli in hover mode, if this is what you can do for a first 1-700 model, then give it a couple of years or so, perhaps a case of move over Jim B.

Great!! Really like the whole thing, from the finish of the ship, to the sea effect and the helicopter really shows it off!

Can't wait to see more from you.

Ray

Thank you for the nice words.

Property now a new Dio begun. With a Pegasus and a Tarantul.


Are to be made about some experiments concerning the mad waves for the Pegasus.

Hi Olaf,

really nice, I love the helo effect. Very interested in the new diorama as well. A Tarantul in 1/700? A separate kit or did it come with another one?

The project is currently something in the queue.
The times were Tarantul it as a kit by Dragon, many many years ago. Unfortunately he is no longer available.

Olaf is this your name ? A great start to model building in the best size 1-700
You've made a much better start then I did, your sea effect is very good, and the model, like I said, better then my effort, perhaps on your next build, you'll try a pe tower you'll find it more impressive then the plastic kit one's, take your time and watch your skill grow
