Revell still has it in the catalogue as North Sea Trawler. No longer an exotic Soviet spy craft. Beautiful job

[@scalestuff1066]

Yeah I saw it the other day in hobby zone, I wonder why they listed it as a spy craft in the first place? And thank you

[@celticcamper8873]

Nice job mate 👍

[@scalestuff1066]

Cheers mate thank you

[@ThatMofoDamon]

Fishing trawlers are the most interesting looking boats/ships to build by my opinion. Great job done on this build review, thanks for sharing, take care and keep up the good work my friend.

[@scalestuff1066]

Yes fishing trawlers do seem to pic up a lot of intrest along there day to day working lives, its scary how much of a beating everything that comes into contact with the sea gets. Thank you glad you enjoyed the video, and will do many more videos to come

[@GrandadIsAnOldMan]

Hey, thanks for the shoutout. I definitely made the right decision to send the kit on to you. No way I would have achieved the results you have. Excellent result 😊👍

[@scalestuff1066]

Anytime mate thanks for sending the kits over really enjoyed building them the shout out was the least I could do. Ah the results alright every model is a learning curve!

[@user-kq8cb3le2j]

I love old kits, and I've built 2 of these in different color schemes. Thanks for doing a how to video.

[@scalestuff1066]

Me to mate got a lot of old kits coming up down the line, and thanks just trying to help people spot the crap before they stumble into it

[@TonyCottrell-iv2qv]

I built one of these when they first came out, and duly made the mistake of trying to paint it when finished. What 12 year old doesn't want to finish the build first! Anyway, I am now building another one- thanks for this video which has some useful tips! I like the idea of putting it in the fish tank, but my other half would not be happy if it caught her fish!

[@scalestuff1066]

Ah I know that one, 12 year old me wrecked so many kits! Glad the video has helped and I hope that it comes together nice for you,Hahahaha yeah would look good in one though but dont think would do the fish anygood

[@paulthurston2883]

I have this kit 90% finished, but I overlooked the pre painting. Now I have my work cut out. Great kit though. Nice job on yours.

[@scalestuff1066]

Good luck with the painting, Im sure it can be done just be a case of slow and steady or a bit of masking. Thank you

[@andy98114]

Nice kit and build 👍 but you should have done the rigging to make it look better.

[@scalestuff1066]

Yeah agreed on the rigging, i dont do many boats though, I did rig a pirate ship I made, but the elastic was probably to thick for the scale of it

[@Emma-jh4ye]

Rock the boat), don't tip the boat over (Rock the boat), don't rock the boat baby

[@scalestuff1066]

Your not allowed on the boat.... 😂

[@Emma-jh4ye]

@@scalestuff1066 🤣

[@scalestuff1066]

It's a cheap move 😂

[@GrandadsOtherChannel]

I might have managed the build, but your paint finish was well beyond my skills 👍

[@scalestuff1066]

Thank you I find painting is always a work in progress though

[@flybobbie1449]

Hobby Zone have these local shop. I want one for my fish tank!

[@scalestuff1066]

Not sure if the paint would be safe for a fish tank,but would look awesome in one

[@flybobbie1449]

@@scalestuff1066 Ordered one now £15 ebay. If i use kiddy safe acrylics should be ok.

[@mikehanson7328]

Would have been a nice conversion to a russian spy trawler

[@scalestuff1066]

Ah now that would be awesome a lot of people have suggested conversions for this kit seems to lend itself to a lot of applications

[@tonysquires8207]

Sorry but it looks like you used a 6" brush and a roller to get the paint on 😮

[@scalestuff1066]

Well was a 6mm wide brush mate so not far off 😂 did rush abit on this one to get it done

[@scalestuff1066]

Sorry thought this was on the Austin video,the cabin on this one messed up Bad,so yeah fair cop,I cant remember what went wrong with the spray ,but yeah lost the footage as had to try and fix it

[@piratedjradio]

I converted this kit with a more angled bow. added another level to the wheel house and altered the rear deck, i made and fitted a tall tower to the deck in front of the winch which on the real ship was 100 meters tall and the model became a dead ringer for the MV Ross Revenge the home of the legendary Radio Caroline

[@scalestuff1066]

Nice bet that looks awesome, have you got any pictures? Ah can see where your coming from with the Ross revenge,If that ships still moored off the south coast my uncle spent some time on that trying to launch a unsuccessful pirate radio career

[@scalestuff1066]

Just looking it up can really see what you mean with the shape of it,that would be a nice conversion with the huge mast on the front

[@piratedjradio]

@@scalestuff1066 yes i do have photo's i could email them to you if you would like

[@scalestuff1066]

would you be able to send them to me on the channels FB? be nice to see them? my email gets so much spam its unreal
