"MSW Crew-mate Andrew Ayling (jester_ara) shares his fine build of Tamiya Models, HMS King George V, in this MSW "On Display" Feature!"

Base Kit- Tamiya Models, 1/350 scale, HMS King George V Battleship WW2 ( kit #78010)

This is Tamiya's 1/350 KGV built without any major modifications, just a few detail sets and some basic scratchbuilding. I'm planning a fully tricked out build of the Duke of York in her 1943 fit and thought I'd build the KGV as a dry run.

The brass work is the WEM set, as are the pompom mounts. 20mm and 40mm are from L'Arsenal. Other details are limited to a few extra hatches, companionways and bulkhead details. As usual, paints are WEM Colourcoats with oils for weathering.



Edit. note: looking forward to that tricked out Duke of York!
