The Ship Model Forum

Hello there.

Here i present you my last work, the Uss Cole DDG-67 1/350th from Trumpeter. This work took me about 4 months and is painted with enamels. The kit includes a standard photoetch set of handrails and safety nets, but they are too few for the ship. I've added a extra set of PE from Tetra Models and ladder from Flyhawk. I made in scratch some antennas in the mainmast and supports in the sliding padeyes. i've used invisible nylon thread for the rigging. This kit does not includes warning circles, and that is too bad. I´ll buy extra decals soon.

The yellow color in some photographs is due to the warm lamp, not the paint.

Comments are welcome!

Very nice model! And that's a lot of pics!! You should put it in the Gallery, but not this much, though!

Thanks for you kind of comment, but i don't know how put photos in he gallery.

Nice job! Is that the kit decal on the helo pad? How was it to apply...looks great!

Is the gray of the superstructure the same as the gray of the hull, or is the difference because of the lighting?

Thank you for looking. You're right, the helo pad is a decal, it's including in the kit. The decal should be dipped in warm water, and after that, place it on the deck. I fix it using ear cottons. Finally, i applied glosscote. This intricate designs are difficult.



Is only the warm lamp effect, the color is the same. Humbrol 127.
