I recently completed this model of the Austro-Hungarian pre-dreadnought battleship, the KuK. Wien. Kit is Polish, by Betaxa. It's simple as paper models go, just three parts sheets. The model comes as a full hull kit, I've converted it to waterline. It's more stylized than realistic, more in the style of the old tinplate warships, but I like it for that reason. Not to mention it didn't take so long to build. At $4.45 USD from The Paper Model Store, I'd say I got my money's worth of modeling time out of it. ;-) Steve picture

Looks great Steve! What scale is it? Are there other ships to chose from? |

Thanks, guys. Scale is 1/250, Tigertankguy. There are lots of ships, usually 1/200 or 1/250. The only problem is they take a long time to build on account of fabricating all the parts yourself. My downfall has always been starting a new model full of enthusiasm and running out of motivation halfway through the project. That's why I did a simple one this time. Steve |
