my local hobby pusher had this one on sale last week so i snatched it up right away. unfortunately there is very little reference material on the web. so i had to use a bit of artistic lisense on the stern and with the colours
aside from a few touch ups i am pretty happy with the way the paint has turned out on the hull. usually when i start a build log it is the kiss of death for that model, so i am hoping that this one will be different.
please feel free to comment, i only have about one and a half ship models under my belt so any constructive comments are welcomeImage

CLEAN PAINTWORK!!

depending on how far you want to ' accurize' ...

there are a number of mods that ca be achieved...

But overall the model captures the look!

here is a fine model of Richelieu in 1/700

I agree that is one top-notch paintwork!!! Anyone knows how you could reproduce this effect without an airbrush?

Cheers

Sylvain
