1/350 HMS Prince of Wales (Tamiya)
Here are a number of photos of my recently finished 1/350 Tamyia Prince of Wales.  This is my first attempt at both building a model ship and using photoetch and I've been working at it on and off for about 18 months.  I didn't even know about the existence of photoetch until I was almost ready to do the final assembly so it was all retro-fitted (something I'll be avoiding in future as you end up doing quite a bit of damage to the kit in the process).  The sides of the conning tower are upside down but I didn't notice until it was far to late to try and rectify the problem
The Photoetch used includes...
  • WEMs KGV class set
  • WEM Extra fine bars and railings
  • GMM Hose reels
The rigging is fine nylon thread I found in a Haberdashery.
