Dkm Prinz Eugen airifx 1/600Hello my friends
My hollidays are over now and i started a new built.The dkm Prinz Eugen.The basic kit is very good and not a lot of major work will be needed to improve this kit.As usual i used Wem photodec and scratched parts like AA turrets ,torpedoes rack ...Strangely airifx don t represent all the lifeboats .There is only 2 lifeboat on the kit and in reality there are 10!!
but I will correct this error

Fantastic as always. I'm building the Revell 1/720 Prinz Eugen at the moment, also using the WEM 1/700 PE for the Tamiya kit. Unlike yourself, I paint as I go and like my ships full hull. :-) I also have the Airfix kit, but I built this in the 1970's and wanted to do better this time.

Remy,
Which year have you chosen to represent your Prinz Eugen?
You have built-out the shelterdecks a bit larger, is this needed for any time frame, or just a certain period of the ship's life?
Thank you,
Dan

Hello dan,thank for your interest on my built (excuse my bad englis)
I have chosen to represent the Prinz during his 1942 period (operation cerberus) with the top roof of the main turret painted in blue color.
I work with a lot of doc and with a 1:200 plan reduce to 600eme.For me the shape of the shelterdeck is correct but it s possible that i have made a little error or may be my plan is wrong but i doubt but it s a little 600 model so.....c est pas important  (it s not really important)
Next work the 105mm dca turret in scratch...
See you soon

They take ages to load because they are HUGE. Click on the "small" image that you end up with at Imageshack, then click again with the "plus" mouse pointer, and WHAMMO you get the IMAX experience!

Hello everybody, here we are.
In this little morning February 12, 1942, the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen crossed the Cape of La Hague in a large air cover provided by the Luftwaffe. It will soon be joined by a dozen of escorts and join the battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau for what will One of the most daring naval operations conducted by the Kriegsmarine, the Cerberus operation ... cloudy and fine sea and 665 miles to cover in the noses of the UK before returning to the safety of the Kiel Canal ...
