Hello,
a few shots on the w.i.p.
As you can see, there are still several items missing, among them the main gun towers.
The reason is that I wanted to improve them a little bit, so I purchased brass barrel made by Aber.
They are built for the Trumpeter Pola cruiser, so they are in 1/350 scale while mine in in 1/400 scale, but I did a few calculation and the difference in diameter isn't perceivable by human eye, so no problem.
But there is a problem with the length, as yo can see from the picture below.
If I just replace plastic barrels with brass ones,they will result aprox 5 mm longer, too much. So I drilled the support in order to insert brass barrels and glue them when they will be just a couple of mm longer. If necessary, I will cut the extra portion of brass.
As you may also have noticed, I didn't forgot that I like model aeroplanes and I tried to improve the one on the deck by adding a little canopy.
More pictures to follow soon.
Alberto
