Michael Kohlyou wet my appetite. I suppose the Mirage kit leaves room for improvement and updetailing. Anxious about your take on it.

Alberto Michieletto AuteurYes, you're right. If you wanted, you could add quite a lot of details. We'll see, because I'm already running into very serious problems with the kit. It seems that the ship's keel is about 3 cm shorter than the pieces for the upper decks… it's a nightmare!

Alberto Michieletto AuteurTomorrow I'll post some photos and show you the problem. I also thought about cutting a section of the upper deck to make it fit perfectly with the base. I'll keep you updated!

Album info
MS Batory was a Polish ocean liner which was the flagship of Gdynia-America Line.
Gdynia America Line (Gdynia–Ameryka Linie Żeglugowe, GAL), a Polish-Danish partnership based in Gdynia, was formed in 1934 as successor to Polskie Transatlantyckie Towarzystwo Okrętowe (PTTO), an enterprise originally dedicated to transporting Polish migrants to the USA. It changed its focus to leisure travel and for that purpose decided to commission a new vessel. Batory was built in 1934–5 at the Cantieri Riuniti dell'Adriatico Monfalcone shipyard in Trieste, Italy,[1] under an arrangement where part of the commission was paid in shipments of coal from Poland.
