Scale: 1/144 | Models used: Revell – Kriegsfischkutter (No. 05242), Figures by Peddinghaus Decals
about this diorama
This 1/144 scale diorama called ‘Patrolling the sea’ displays a so called Kriegsfischkutter from the German Navy navigating the waters around Norway. These small ships were armed and equipped to perform a variety of roles including minesweeping, anti-submarine warfare, patrol, and convoy escort.
regarding the build
The model comes from Revell (Kit nr. 05242), with ICM manufactured sprues. Building the kit was a pleasure, it was my first time building a kit in this scale, so I needed to to take care with the small parts.
The figures are from Peddinghaus decals. Materials that I utilised for the base: AK Extruded Foam, MIG Vignettes Acrylic Water Gel, White Cotton for the splash texture, Gloss varnish to make the waves shiny after painting.
