1/72 SAR Arkona (Revell Germany)
I finished this model for a friend who started construction but felt unable to carry on. It has been built mainly out of the box, with little upgrade: rigging, antennae, forward pipe, some touch up to the boat astern, scratchbuilt railings, and that is about it. The background has been photoshopped to flatten it up so the model centers the attention and the pictures themselves improve a bit. I will screw it to a wooden base and it will be over.
I would like to thank Carsten for his enthusiastic support and help. He pinpointed me some bits that really improve the model, as it is the pipe running on the forcastle deck to the firefighting outlet, for example. A pity I met him a bit late in the process!.
