Airfix 1/600th HMS "BELFAST"
Airfix 1/600th HMS "BELFAST"
This is my first attempt at a ship. I got the kit (sealed) for
peanuts so thought I would give it a try. It has been a very
fiddly job but I hope worth it.
Regards lads,
Pete.

I don't usually venture onto the ships bit of the website, however, seeing this Belfast takes me back a bit as I attempted it back in the mid 70's. The finished result didn't look as good as your does!! Ships take a lot of patience and I do appreciate the effort that goes into them.
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Always worth trying something new as you can pick up new skills and techniques, or just get interested in a whole new area. Nice job Pete.

Hello Bernard
Thanks for your appreciation, it is
very encouraging as I would really like to
do the "Suffolk" as my brother was on board
(a gunner) During the "Bismark" engagement
and he is now 93!!
Kind regards,
Pete.

Re: Airfix 1/600th HMS "BELFAST"
Hello Brews,
Thanks for your post and comments. I agree 100% about the seam
and I must admit that I could have used more diligent filling but I
was a bit overawed by the task and possibly did'nt use as much care
asI should have. However if I do build the "Suffolk" I will be making
it for my brother and will put my best into it.
Kind regards Brews,
Pete.
