Great job!

And yes, good 3D printing puts both kits and PE sets to shame, with great thin details that aren't "flat" and also require no assembly :heh:

Here's a couple photos of the 1/200 scale Mk. 28 after a couple corrections -

It needs some brushing to remove some fuzz and then a final coat of paint, but otherwise it came out nicely!

A fun mini-project!!

Amazing, thanks Matt!

Do you have any plans to scale down the Quincy/Vincennes conversions or at least bridges to 1/700?

Vlad, Kraken did the 1/350 Quincy, Astoria and Vincennes with Justin Jones of Red Devil Designs. Justin has all three sets scaled down to 1/700 scale on his US Ebay shop. His shop name is Tankbuster47.

Found it, thank you! It's good someone has done these since the Trumpeter kits are so disappointingly inaccurate for those two unique ships.
