Thank you for the video. It is a good kit, you did a nice job building it, and the video was well done. You have a couple of surprising major techniques: spraying black first, and then bright colors. I have had good luck without employing them. I have seen another modeler use a black primer, but I would think you need a lot of paint to cover that. Here are a couple of ideas you might want to consider trying. Generally I have found that a white primer works best for me. I built the Belfast about 20 years ago. I assembled most of the model, airbrushed the gray including parts still on the trees, airbrushed the wood deck, then hand painted the gray details around the wood color, and then added the details. I back dated it to 1939 when it was completed. For Airfix's King George V, I airbrushed everything before removing the parts, and then used ACC after scraping paint from the appropriate areas. Although that worked very well, I never did it again because I prefer regular model cement. Thank you for the ship's tour. When I visited London 9 years ago, I got only about 5 minutes on the ship. Thanks again. You are informative and interesting at the same time.

Good to see you back 'in action.' I'm operating from a very old memory here so forgive any inaccuracies! I bought and built Belfast when she first came out, which would have been about the time she was saved for preservation and moved to the Pool of London. The kit was one of the very last 1/600 scale warships Airfix produced and was easily better than any of the rather clunky predecessors. They did, if I remember correctly, bring out a Prinz Eugen, a King George V and HMS Repulse afterwards but I don't recall any others. The last few models they released in this scale were pretty darned good by the standards of the time and it's sad that the company's financial woes, coupled with the growth of 1/700 scale, meant the end of Airfix's once quite prolific ship range. A tip, free and for nothing! Do not, whatever you do, buy their Tirpitz /Bismarck........absolutely dreadful! And if you fancy a really good one with a suitably tragic history, try their Repulse; arguably the best one they ever did. I have it in my stash together with a lot of photo-etch to go with it. Now all I have to do is pluck up the courage to build it. Good grief, a 2pdr pompom is SMALL in 1/600!! Great build, and I really like the diorama. Stay safe and I'm ready for your next video right away. All the best from the UK.

Thank you for your tour. Great job on the Belfast. We used to do a special trick with the Revelle model ships back in the late 1950's: by sawing or somehow cutting the bottoms of the ships off just at the waterline. The models wold be cut to bare details, filled with clay and a conforming bottom would be added. Subsequent to an all-dark-gray monotone paint job -- the models had the look and feel of large versions of collector's die-cast versions.

My father was on HMS Cossack (R57) a C-Class Destroyer from 1945 but went straight to the Pacific. He later served on the carrier HMS Venerable (R63) before transferring to the New Zealand Navy 1948 & then leaving the navy in 1952 & immigrating to NZ.
