Today I have started on the venerable Airfix 1/600 Graf Spee. I think the history of this ship is quite well known and will not be repeated here. How far I will get with this kit before my move to Simonstown is anybody's guess - but then it does not really matter. I am planning (within my limited knowledge and skills range) to do a bit extra on this model. One of the pics shows that I have started to drill out the port holes ... .
I would love to add some railings but photo etched railing are very scarce to come by in South Africa - especially in 1/600 scale. I was just wondering, could 1/700 also work?
Any other bits of information on this ship, tips and advice will be very welcome
I am really looking forward to the rest of the build ... ( I can then also listen to the Hobbit audio book - oh what fun)
