JSC 1:400 North Carolina Build

[Teamski]

Hi Ski,

An excellent build. I am looking forward to your build of the HMS Hood - will you be building the Halinski or GPM version?

Regards,

Andrew

Thanks!

The 1:200 HMS Hood is the older Halinski version. I already got started on it today. Here is the frame next to my 1:400 JSC Hood. Do NOT expect a quick build on this one. It's my first 1:200 scale ship. My wife just about fainted when I showed it to her.

Does anybody know how to fix "floating ribs? A number of the upper hull ribs are too short. The only fix I would figure on is to "shore" them up to level with with longitudinal frame. I hope I don't find size errors on the hull! Off course, the upper hull isn't glued on yet.

I wanted to add a couple photos of the finished North Carolina that were lost earlier in this thread.....

Thanks!
