The Ship Model Forum

I must have spelled it wrong, sorry. Auto-translation))) "Chabanenko" is translated quite correctly (for sound)). Incorrect IMAGE of letters. Instead of the correct Russian letter "H" - a mirror ENGLISH letter "N". As a result, it turns out "Chabaieiko" .... And the letters "I" and "E" are almost the same. Even the stylization of modern Russian letters under the old spelling (a tradition for Russian warships) does not really mask errors))) Trumpeter sometimes knows how to "surprise"...

Vad 26 - Ok. So, I misunderstood your original post. My entire statement is now wrong. It's nice to know how to say it right. That's what I get for trying to create a spelling based on a talking computer.

Model wise, I only have to attach one more piece. I don't plan to do the seascape right now. So the next update will be the last one for this project. And I'll call it done. After that a moderator can go ahead and move this into the completed section.

I don't know if I will post my next project. I don't see much interest in the Sachsen class around the internet.

Part 46

I have finally gotten to the last update. This has taken a lot longer than I expected. I took some time off from work for the holidays and figured this would be a quick finish. Unfortunately, I started feeling sick on my first day off and have been sick since. Currently, my thinking and eyesight are both a little fuzzy, but I got this done anyway.

I've added a small hose reel near the front of the superstructure. There seems to only be one on the right side of the ship. I ended up dropping it on the floor 5 times before I managed to get it glued down.



The turret is now complete. As planned, it only took a little forward leaning pressure to remove the white holding rod from the center of the turret. All of the construction went smoothly until I got to the very last part, which for me, was the water hose etch that crosses over the top of the left barrel. I dropped and lost too many of them, so I don't have any of them left for the second turret. This keeps me at never getting more than one of these built out of a box set of two.



The forward railings are done. Although I did take a couple little shortcuts by leaving off the small forward platform above the anchors, and the rear end of the forward railing should have been angled inwards and attached to the front outer corner of the primary missile launcher, instead of just being next to it like the railing at the rear of the launcher



Lastly, just a couple completed pics showing the difference in color, depending on lighting.





Thanks for looking. Happy Holidays to everybody.

Dan.
