Initial inspection and scoping

November 11, 2018

Having opened the box and inspected the ship, the scale looks pretty spot on for 28mm scale minis (see photos).

There are a few things that will have to be removed and replaced to really hide the larger scale aspects of the thing, namely:

The turret and ‘machine gun’ on top of the bridge will need removing and replacing with something more realistic (aerials, radar etc. maybe)
The clear plastic ‘fin’ and aerials will need some work
The large hatch/doorway molded on the side of the bridge will need hiding

Painting wise, it looks like a relatively easy job and will be down to a combination of spray cans and airbrush. It looks like the existing decals / stickers should peel off quite easily.

This hatch will need hiding as it is way out of scale for 28mm
