Gruezi zrugg!


Having been born in Zuerich I am slightly biased....but.., --maybe Luzern is prettier than both--and that Lake....!

anyhow- :welcome: :welcome: to Modelwarships.com!
Your model is looking very sharp!

Looking forward to seeing more updates

Grüezi zämme,

Thank you very much for all the kind words about my Mo!

Well, I'm using the sets from Eduard and WEM for this project, and a lot of scratch building too. Eduard has reached a good level of accuracy, the PE- superstructure side walls are great!

In my opinion, the old Tamiyas are still good kits, with lots of areas for improvements. Hope to post more pics in the next few days, after priming the entire model with Gunze Surfacer ..... :smallsmile:

Greetings from Basel,

Michael :wave_1:
