Airfix 1/600 Graf Spee

[Ettienne]

Beautiful model of the Graf Spee at the NZ Naval museum Devonport Auckland. Sadly light reflection of the glass case ruined most photo's leaving this one as the only photo worth keeping. This post brings back so many memories of the second model I ever made (1st was Golden Hind) I was about 9 or 10 and had to do extra chores around the house because the kit cost One shilling and Six pence.. Ahhhh those were the days of YuHu glue and sticky fingers. . Looking forward to following this build.

A truly great looking model. Regarding my own project. Due to numerous issues with the paint job and using some strong "thinners" which attacked and damaged the plastic, I had to scrap the project. Will replace it with an Academy 1/350 Graf Spee though. And in the meantime I will start working on the Airfix HMS Hood.
