Agree with Martin, that's some beautiful oil canning. Did you shoot through a mask for that, or is it done with pre-shading? Regardless, it works!

Continued great work. I like the subtle oil canning effect on the hull.

I've finished with base colours on the hull. I'm moderatly satisfied with the result :big_grin:

While I had it done, I went on,  dug the seascape out of the box and put them together to see how does it come together:

That is a good looking seascape. Nice work.

I got the seascape up to the ponit, when the hull goes in. Airbrushing stage done:

Seascape in progress

Tamiya diluted 3:1 (3 thinners) with Leveling Thinner.

Great start. May i ask which primer? looks beautifully smooth :cool_2:

Interested to see this one progress...

Time for a new project, this time with guns and all :big_grin: Kit is fully 3D printed. I'm going to depict it on a seascape, portraying events of 10th of June 1943.

First primer coats on the hull plus some other little bits:
