    Tamiya 1/350 USS Missouri

    in The Display Case

    Posted · Edited by Skyraider Maniac

    Hola! Figured I've been on here long enough, so I ought to show something that I've finished (as oppposed to all my in-progress works - I'll probably throw my F-80 on here when I'm ready to get back to work on it again)! Granted, it's only been finished since....2008.... but why not show it? Advice is welcomed! As for the quality of the pics - I apologize, but I was working with a Canon Digital Elph (SD 700, nothing super high speed), and it was taken in my barracks room when I was at Ft. Sill, so not a whole lot of room to work with. As far as the model itself goes, it took me from 2 FEB 08 to 04 MAY 08 to build; it's all OOB and painted by hand. No PE as I had yet to discover it at this point (being freshly back from deployment, I was eager to get back into modeling after a long hiatus, so I went with what I knew). I will say this, I will never build another one of these big guys without PE and brass barrels ever again.... The only thing I did add was weights in the hull for ballast (if I'm going to have a model ship, it ought to float), other than that it's all OOB like I said. I would take some pics at my new house, but since the move, and the introduction to my wife's cat (not to mention my wife), I have to fix some things - mainly the rigging (the wife "introduction") - but I have to get all that stinkin' cat hair off (cat "introduction"). Anyone know of a great way to accomplish this, seeing as it's worked its way into some very interesting areas (I never realized a cat could shed so much, or that models were such great magnets for it).

    Anyhoo, without further adoo, pictures!

    :whistle: That's not my former model I traded to you for the Wild Weasel is it? I thought you liked it? :wasntme:

    Yes Mr. Jack, that it be - and I do like it! But alas I need an airbrush while at the same time minimizing out of pocket costs. I was going to use it for a 1/48 carrier deck diorama I have planned. but I have work on a diorama for my wifey that I'd like to have completed by the time she gets home, which is why I need the airbrush.

    But heck, if nobody buys it, then heck yes ill keep it!

    With the airbrush issue taken care of, I have these kits for any takers. So here goes! All kits are in 1/48 scale except where noted. I'd prefer to keep this in CONUS and Canada for quality control purposes. Also, preferred method of payment is Paypal. Any questions feel free to ask! Trade offers welcomed (as long as it comes in 1/48, make an offer). When you message me, please go ahead and send me your zip code so I can promptly get you a shipping quote. All models will ship either UPS or USPS depending on cost.

    Thanks,

    Justin
