USS North Carolina 1/350 Trumpeter: Assembly, Painting, Weathering

- Hi! Thanks for visiting the channel!
In this video, i am building the Trumpeter 1/350 scale USS North Carolina.
The kit is a little bit older, and, as usual with older Trumpeter kits, it has fit issues, but nothing that can be solved with sanding and a little filling.
All the ammo boxes and 20mm AA guns that need to pe placed all over the ship individually might be quite time consuming and monotonous, but the kit gives a great impression on what the ship looks like.
I made a camouflage from July 1942, where she did not actually have the bulbs on the hull attached, so it is a mix of versions, but the newer camouflage was so complicated to make so i did this one.

My dad was on the North Carolina from her commission in April 1941. We built a Revell model back in the 70's when I was a kid. Yesterday would have been his 100th birthday.
Two things one trumpeter is my most favorite molded company because of their detail two you know you had a good modeling experience when there is glue on your hands
Hi Peter....long time and life is busy. Hope you and your family are very well. I have just finished two Japanese scratch built subs. Very rewarding! I do so want to convey my sympathies to you folk on the loss of HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH. I trust the transition of power will be smooth and effecient.
Have a great weekend! Your American friend Jerry. Molly my 4 yr old puppy say hi to your kitty!
Ah yes one of my favorite battlewagons of ww2 the showboat herself, nice job on the model it looks great
I love the 350 scale Trumpeter kits, they are not too hard, yet not to easy. I got the Bismark and Yamato.
I love watching your builds and I love ships. So many others do planes cars and armour. Please continue doing ships!
Thanks very much! I will definitely continue making ships, i have also got some tank models i am very interested in building. But the channel will stay mostly focused on ships! i like them most as well
I guess it is kind of off topic but do anybody know of a good site to stream newly released tv shows online ?
@Joel Trevor Flixportal :D
@Quinn Will Thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :) I appreciate it!
@Joel Trevor Happy to help =)
Les super navires US ...Beau montage et bon camo ...
Watched this video while building the model to get ideas and inspiration on how to fit and piece together the many small parts to the ship
Being a person who prefers tanks, that would be my request, but the some ships would also be ideal, but in the end you ard the person building these kits. Keep safe and well in these crazy times.
Thanks for the feedback! I'll try balancing it out. there are several great modellers who mostly do tanks, so i think ships are a niche, but tanks are also fun and less effort to make!
All the best to you as well, stay healthy!
I loved this video! I like all the description of the model and the quality of the video! Keep doing these models!
Thanks very much! I am glad you like it!
Ships for me, I'd watch the odd tank but as you say there are so many armour channels it's nice to see something a bit different. Nice job with the North Carolina particularly on the paint work. I do feel however that just the addition of generic PE railings and ladders would make a huge difference to the final model, but appreciate that's both extra time and cost you might not want to expend. Looking forward to whatever you have in store for us next.
True, railings would have really improved the model (or, improve all ship models). I even have some laying around somewhere from a 2nd hand model i once bought, and the blücher also had some included which i didnt put on. Maybe i should just take the extra hour of work, you are right! next ship, no excuses, will have railings!
And, thanks for the feedback. Right now, an armoured vehicle is uploading, but then, i'm turning my attention to a quite new ship model that i havent seen any videos on youtube yet! (if im fast)
To make the Eduard radar dishes look right: make a cut from edge to center, overlap the cut ends until the dish looks right, mark where one edge that is overlapped to where it meets the other edge, leave just a slight overlap, glue the slight overlaps in place, let dry and slightly round from center to outer edge evenly to get proper dish shape. It works and works well.
This sounds like a great tip, thanks! I will try it when I get another one of those dishes!
Nice build!
Hopefully you’ll be able to tour the North Carolina, if you haven’t already done so. They’ve done an amazing job with her restoration and upkeep!
Oh, I also sail the NC in WoWs, though I prefer cruisers.
I stopped playing WoWS some years ago, but the NC was one of the last ships i got after playing only British and French lines, and she was a great addition after the slow colorado! :)
Nice build! I'm working on this one as well. I found some other 1/350 North Carolina kits in resin from Yankee Modelworks, and Iron Shipwrights. They are discontinued unfortunately, but can still be found on ebay occasionally.
She looks amazing! To be honest I would recommend the occasional tank, but I think there should be some more 1/700 ships as well. I think more people from different scales should be coming and watching this channel :)
Thanks! and also, thanks for the feedback! 1/700 ships are a great idea! I remember having a USS Texas, USS Lexington, USS George Washington, and a PLA Aircraft Carrier in 1/700 (the chinese kutznezov class), anything interesting for you?
@@funinscale2892 I’m not sure what you mean. If you have these kits but you haven’t made them, I would say the USS Texas. If you’re asking me for future kits, I recommend Trumpeter’s early battleship line, with the USS Colorado, USS Maryland, etc.
@@PirateWorld1 Those are ships in 1/700 i have on my stash, you can choose one. So, the next build will be the USS Texas in 1/700
@@funinscale2892 sounds great :)
Wow what a pretty cat💖💝❤️🐈:)
Thanks, i'll forward it to her, her name is Bertha :D
Nice build you right fit not so good but a decent kit with a little finesse
Nicely done yet again....you are churning out the big ones at a fast rate but assume that these have taken longer than it seems???. There's a lot of armour channels and not so many ship ones so appreciate the fact that you don't mind sharing your ship building with us viewers. However, this is your channel and I'd be happy to watch whatever you choose.
Thanks very much! Right now, i have so much time on my hands, i sometimes build models from morning to the evening, so i'm spending quite an amount of time on each of the models, but i'd assume there are modellers out there that just take each kit to the next level, where i make easier compromises.
Ships are my main interest, but sometimes, the simplicity of building a tank is also a good interruption
@@funinscale2892 I agree, I love building 1/32 scale planes but I throw in a tank every now and then because they are easy to do....and yes, a ship too :-)
Nice out of box ,build.
Very good build, but you should try to correct one of Trumpeter's biggest mistakes, the too short first funnel. It should be just higher than the second one.
Hi Peter! Hadn't heard and hope your new jobs going good. Just finished a simple 1932 Ford two door. It was fun I'm gonna do more of it but I'm now interested in JU52S. And Ford tri motors. Wish I could send you a shot of the car. Take care and cheers from Iowa.
Hi Jerry! How are you? I would be interested in the car model, if you like you can send me an email to funinscale@outlook.com! The ford tri motors is a plane, the revell kit, right? I was interested in that one as well, looks like a fun build, an old monogram kit if im not mistaken. Stay safe and healthy!
sehr schön
Senks!
Hi Peter! Hope everyone there is well! Just an fyi. You might already. Saw where TRUMPTER 1/350 scale USS MASSACHSSETS IS OUT. TAKE CARE BROTHER MODELER!
Hi Jerry! I have a kit of her Sister, Alabama, but haven't heard of Massachusetts, will definitely look into it, thanks!
@@funinscale2892 GLAD TO HELP! I HAVE THE 1/700 SCALE OF BOTH SHIPS AND THE SOUTH DAKOTA! HAVENT SEEN THAT ONE IN 1/350. TAKE CARE TALK SOON! BEST TO ALL YOU FOLKS THERE!
I've noticed you have really improved you modelling skills over the projects I have watch. There is one thing that I notice you miss a lot and that is cleaning up the bits of left over sprue on the parts like ladders and small barrels etc. To me it really reduces the quality of the build. I did the same thing the other day when I was test fitting some of my 1/200 Scharnhorst superstructure parts. I couldn't workout why they wouldn't fit, only when I realized I hadn't cleaned the sprue stubs off the part and cleaned it up did they fit.
Thank you! I usually dont really strive to perfection with my models but rather finish them a little quicker and being able to try out the next kit - I'm probably a little too impatient for all the very small clean up - and i dont have the tools for it. That being said, i know i have lots of room to improve! Thanks for the hints!
Yes that would be the first thing my eyes would go to if I saw it in person.Got to clean it up,it takes away from the quality big time.
Hi Peter! Just wanted to fyi ya the model co RFM has the EASY EIGHT SHERMAN M4 OUT WITH ENTIRE INTERRIOR!! ITS ON A BUILD ON UTUBE KIT LOOKS GREAT EVEN HAS A SEPERATE KIT PHOTO ETCH FOR UPGRADE! LOVE THE LOOKS. I WAS IN AN M4 A1 A FEW TIMES. VERY TIGHT! I DONT KNOW THE PRICE MIGHT B HIGH BUT WANTED TO GIVE YOU A HEADS UP. GREAT WEATHER HER HOPE ALL WELL THERE!
Hi Jerry! Thanks for the info, and the message! How are you, everything fine? I started working full-time again in july, and full time means much longer than the usual working week, so i dont have any time for modelling at the moment, sadly, i cant work on any videos. But the sherman with full interior was really interesting to me as well, maybe in the future!
@@funinscale2892 I'm so happy your working! I retired may 26 and still getting used to it! LoL! We're fine here thanks for asking so glad your ok! Keep in touch oh that company that molded the Sherman had a Tiger 1 out to with INTERRIOR! Stay safe my friend stay in touch!
Why are there no blast bags on the turrets?
excuse me for asking this again, but I lost the previous tread. did you make blast bags? It so, how?
Really surprised no PE but you mentioned it was a older kit.
Yeah, one can really see the difference between the older and newer ones from trumpeter, the quality is superb today, they throw in PE parts, extremely fine plastic parts and more, so it's always a little sad finding out that the one i had was an older one with... solid... radar bulbs...
I'm going to get this, but I don't have the experience with making good camos. Should I leave it unpainted?
Hi! I would try and paint it nonetheless, so you can get more experience for future models, you can also skip the camouflage part and only paint it grey above the waterline, with a dark blue-grey deck, not necessarily a camouflage pattern.
I picked this one up at yard sale still in box plastic wrap for 5 dollars...
Wow 5 dollars, this would be a great deal for any model kit, an incredible deal for this fun kit!

Seeing the non photoetch Crane makes me worried.
I got my 1/350 Trumpeter Warspite and it’s gonna be the same problem. The crane is just a solid plastic, no photoetch replacement. All the aftermarket is for Academy is well, so it won’t fit Trumpeter. 😓
Yes those solid plastic cranes and radar dishes and stuff, they are really bad - but the PE sets are quite expensive as well, so i usually like to build out of the box because like this i am not bound to one model for endless times and can start new ones faster. I have the 1/350 warspite from trumpeter on my stash too, i think to remember there was a PE crane included, or am i mixing kits up?
how about try 1/200 Enterprise by Trumpeter released this month or 1/200 Scharnhorst by Trumpeter next month?
If only my wallet would be of the same opinion :D i have a rodney and Hood in 1/200 on my stash, i've wanted to do the rodney since quite a while, if this is something you're interested as well!
Is there a way to make them moveable
I have never tried it but some people built ships especially for cruising around in lakes, you can look it up under RC ship modelling.
You need some Electronics knowledge to build it though, as you have to connect all the engines and radio control units yourself. I assume it is hard to get into, but cool if you can pull it off!
do you wear a mask when painting
if not, which airbbrush
Hi! I don't wear a mask - i should wear one, though!
My airbrush is a Paasche Talon, i am very satisfied with it but spare parts are a little rare
I wanna see 1/200
I have two 1/200 ships on my stash, maybe i will start one soon! :-)
One other correction there is NEVER rust on a battleship. It is brown primer..............................hehehehehehehehe
More of 1/200 missouri
