I purchased a couple of laser cut kits off eBay for the princely sum of £8.50 for the pair.This is the tanker. It also doubles as Komet, a German armed merchant raider with a broadside of four 6" guns and three torpedoes.
I pretty well made it as is, after plenty of sanding, except for adding a gun from Mirage on the rear Deck manned by a trio of Warlord Games sailors...and a couple of vent port thingies (no doubt those of a nautical persuasion have a special name for them) also from Mirage.
"I say, Perkins, are they the evil bosche or our brave lads of the RAF?"
"No idea, sir. Let's give 'em a couple of rounds anyway."
I made a bit of a bog of this one by trying to sand it with a large file. Bad move. The MDF started to shred but a bit of sanding and slapped on rust covered it up.
You'd be pretty rusty if you spent a couple of decades going up and down the North Sea.
The cargo ships alongside a Heller 1:400 M35 Minesweeper.
And alongside a Warlord Games 1:300 S-Boat.
They do need some sanding down to take the sharp edges and vertical lines off what should be curved surfaces. But.....£8.50 the pair! And all you are going to do is fire torpedoes at them.
Highly recommended!
