Hello 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

Amitiés Rémy

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
Amitié Rémy

Hey everyone, just before leaving work tonight, here are some pictures of the turret 105mm dca.The basic piece of kit has been reworked and the result is excellent.This turret looks like a 105mm turret now

All pieces to reproduce are finished and I'll start casting.
See you soon for the next,amitiés Rémy
