In an interesting diversion from the Trains, Planes and Armour - I've discovered a liking for ships..

 

Building HMCS Snowberry for a client,  I got quite interested in the Flower Class and purchased the 2018 tooling of HMS Buttercup by Revell...

 

The Kit...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Certainly not as many sprues and a lot less flash.

 

The hull went together very quickly, no need for clamps!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Painting the Hull & Deck(s)

 

 

 

 

 

 

I used Vallejo Model Air paints (as per Snowberry), the colour scheme is quite different though!

 

After giving the hull a clear gloss coat (Tamiya X-22) the decals were applied.

 

 

 

 

Time to clean, paint, assemble and fit a few parts (predominately the rear depth charge racks)..

 

 

 

Time for brief Cameo from HMCS Snowberry, alongside her little sister

 

 

After a few semi-gloss coats of clear on the hull, more parts were cleaned up, painted & fitted to the stern of Buttercup..

 

 

 

 

More to come, however till next time...
