Title: USS Stingray SS-161 from "Down periscope!" movie
Post by: wacek85 on July 15, 2016, 07:19:10 AM
Finished at last...
Model of Gato - class submarine, converted (more or less)to Balao-class, to be precise to USS Pampanito in markings used during making "Down periscope!" movie where she starred as a USS Stingray SS-161...Whew...
Model is old Revell from 1988 in sick 1/185 scale (probably, modellers are arguing about that :)) to which I bought conn tower with accesories from Mautilus Models company. Sadly, a tragic quality lead to using only half of conn tower. USS Stingray was painted with Tamiya paints, weathered with Tamiya sticks and washes, pastels, Rennaissance oils and good, old Humbrols. Decals on bow is my print and the number on the conn tower was taken from sheet for Bremen frigatte, also Revell.
And now you can beat me for all that I've made wrong with this one:)
