The Ship Model Forum

Here's the SH-2 from the AFV Club Knox class kit. I went and got the Navy Gloss Gray FS16081 paint, today.

It does look a little green, doesn't it? I bet this is the color that the USS Sides veteran was refering to. I left off the side mounted equipment.

Thank you, gentlemen, for your assistance!

HI everyone
i am currently in Milan Italy with my friend Maurizio Chiaro. We are just back from Germany where we visited NNT shop. I have also met the master maker for Ships & Co Mr. Mauro Bertorello and i have seen his masters.... I can only say that U.S. navy fans will be happy with the Ships & Co. future releases.

Regards to all.

Couldn't you just sit and look at those completed models, all day? Wonderful collection. I have 9 completed ship models.

Someday!

I printed and mounted two DESRON 1 decals on my USS Sides and attached the helo pad nets which are from GMM's Modern USN/JMSDF pe set.







Did I share this little guy with y'all, yet? Just for fun! USS Hercules PHM-2. I still have some railings and rigging to go, as well as a little more detail to the mast. I see a little diorama for it, too. I cut the hydrofoil supports uneven to portray it in a left turn.

Nice pics Nektarios, glad you had a great time.

Awesome work Carl

Happy modeling

John

Good work Carl, thanks for sharing. Would you share the original picture you used for your home-made decals too?

Thanks Arnobiz!

I save the images from this web page and insert them in MSWord and resize down to .13" or .14" for 1/700 scale. I print about six of each size, sometimes .16". The one on the USS Sides is .14" and maybe just a little too, big.

I did the same thing on my USS Harry E. Hubbard DD-748.
