philo426 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Laced on some sails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 My big Revell Constitution has vac sails, but I'm not sure if I'll use them or not. Looks like you're keeping with it. At this rate, you'll be finished in no time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philo426 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 I still have to construct the main and mizzenmasts but the build seems to be going smoothly thus far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Indeed it is. I'd like to also tackle the Heller HMS Victory one day, but who knows if that'll ever happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 If you ever do decide to tackle the Vasa, I have this book on the ship. I'd be more than happy to get you a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philo426 Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) Finishing up the running rigging and nearing completion.I really like the way this one turned out but after building two fully rigged ships in a row it is time to pump the brakes.I will build a Revell 1/48 B-25 J.The only rigging on the Mitchell is the antenna wires!
