1/700 HMS Prince of Wales (Tamiya)
This is the Tamiya 1/700 HMS Prince of Wales. I've modelled her at the time she was in the far east and used the Shipcraft book for reference to weapons fit and camouflage. I've used WEM etch and replaced a couple of parts with WEM resin detail parts. The paints are WEM colourcoats except for the natural wood decks, on which I've used Lifecolour Israeli sandgray as a base colour with a brown ink wash. The weathering was concentrated on the hull and I've used drybrushing and the Tamiya weathering system for the rust and black marks.
