Nice build of a good model, thank you for sharing And we finally know why Szent Istvan could not evade the italian torpedoes that sank her - a cat ate her steering wheel :-)
I just finished the trumpeter 1/350 HMS Hood . I used a teak planking on the deck instead of paint and really liked the effect . Good video . Thank you for sharing
Just finished dinner and watched this while having dessert , nice job. The detail work is impressive. Thanks for your time and work in posting your videos........
Im just getting back into the hobby after a long hiatus and watching as many videos as I can for research/tips and found this most instructive. Im very impressed by the way you put the superstructure together, it looks very tricky. My first model will be the Varyag as I love the old warships and after watching this video I think the Szent Istvan will be on my wish list as it is a very nice looking ship, thank you for posting and I shall subscibe and enjoy watching more of your work.
Nice work!! I paint the deck from hand after paintig it in gray with airbrush. So are the sides of the details also gray. And the handpaint of the deck is covered with the weatheringsteps.
Good work! Dose anybody know how the rigging on the masts looked like? I'm currently working on the same kit and I originally intended to use the 3d model of Viribus Unitis from World of Warships as reference but some of it's parts are different. If anybody knows any good references please let me know.
Hello, I am very new to ship modeling. Could someone tell me if I need to use a special primer for photoetch parts or any other thing? And also should i prime the whole model?
Szent Istvan and Viribus Unitis are the same dreadnought battleship class built for Austro-Hungarian empire. 4 ships belonged to the same class: Tegetthoff, Viribus Unitis, Szent Istvan and Prinz Eugen. Those were only Austro-Hungarin dreadnoughts. That's why they looked similar to you while you built them. BTW, great job!!!
Hi! Thanks for the info. I wasn't just aware how much difference or similarity between the two ships was there in this class, but it seems the most predominant feature on st istvan that is not present in VU is the platform around the funnels
@@funinscale2892 The diffenece were relatevly minor but Szent István had only two shafts becuse had better steam engines, different conning tower, and it didn't recived the torpedo protection net holders.
Szent István (St. Stephen) was the first Hungarian Christian king, the founder of the Hungarian kingdom. Kaiser Franz Josef personally decided to name the ship after the first Hungarian king. Szent István set sail for her only combat deployment on the evening of June 9, 1918, when together with her sister ships and most of the fleet, they planned to carry out a raid on the Otranto sea lock on the 11th. Two torpedo-equipped motor boats (MAS) of the Royal Italian Navy (Regia Marina) detected near Premuda at dawn on June 10 the convoy in which the Szent István and the Tegetthoff sailed towards the assembly point. The MASs, which were just returning from their night mission off the Dalmatian coast, managed to sneak in unnoticed among the escort ships and fire their torpedoes at the battleships, two of which MAS 15's torpedoes hit the Szent István at the height of the boiler rooms - in a critical place from the point of view of torpedo protection. The battleship fought for nearly three hours with the water seeping into its body, which rendered more and more boilers unusable, and because of which the pumps could no longer operate. Finally, after the bulkheads between the boiler rooms were breached, the ship capsized and sank. 89 people lost their lives in the tragedy, mainly those who worked to prevent water intrusion inside the ship. The Szent István was the only battleship in the First World War whose loss was recorded on video. The remains of the battleship, also considered the largest Hungarian-built ship, were found in 1974 at a depth of 60-70 meters. The Croatian Ministry of Culture has declared the shipwreck a war grave, and divers can only dive with a permit. (Wikipedia)
Hi Glen! I used Nato Green from Tamiya as a base colour, then i have added some Flat Earth and Sky Grey to the paint for the lighter colour around the waterline and the bottom of the hull - to be honest, i dont know which paint is required exactly, but it looks fitting in my opinion. The photoetch parts are the exact same as in Viribus Unitis, as far as i remember, with an exception being the railing above the platform around the funnels, but i think it was already included in VU, but just not used. It is a rich photoetch set in my opinion
@@funinscale2892 Thanks, every green I have tried, or mixed myself ended up being to bright, ends up making the ships look more like carnival rides than weapons of war lol
Peter awesome build and video as always. I really liked the green hull and how you weathered it. Always a superb job on those tricky and pesky PE parts. How are you doing? Well I sincerely hope. Did you get your vaccination yet? I'm still working on the Hasegawa Hikawa Maru. Its a fun kit and a beautiful ship. Have a great week and stay safe my friend. As always my very best to you, your family and friends. God bless. 👍👍🇦🇹🤝🇺🇸
Hi Chris! Thanks very much and great to hear that you are working on the Hikawa Maru, keeping yourself occupied will surely help you! I got my first vaccine some days ago, had no side effects luckily. How are you, everything fine? My cats name is Bertha, you could be right, she always scouts for parts that are easily stolen! :)
Servus, mein Lieber! Kannst du mir einen ‚langsam‘-trocknenden, flüssigen Sekundenkleber empfehlen? 60sec Kleber oä. Habe gerade den Ammo MIG Slow-Dry probiert und es war ein totaler Reinfall (stinknormaler Sekundenkleber).
Hallo Conrad (oder Heinrich :), ich verwende am liebsten gelatinösen superkleber, der schnell trocknet, mit langsam trocknenden habe ich bisher nur nicht so gute erfahrungen gemacht, einer davon war der loctite superkleber in der oval-kegelförmigen flasche, den kann ich auch nicht empfehlen.
Hi Peter long time! Just an fyi Testors and Scale Master paints are no longer made. You probably know this but you can goggle this ships sinking and wreck films. Best to you all! Cheers!
Hi Jerry! Didnt read from you in some time, hope you're OK! I have never heard of scale master paints, testors is an american company right? sad to hear, but i have never had products of those companies, but from what ive seen and heard, testors made great products!
@@funinscale2892 ahaha.,.once my dog wanted to sit on my lap while I was building....that's a trick! Loved you recent build the ships look so odd 100years ago!
@@funinscale2892 yeah it's been sorta busy thank you much for your concern I'm fine. I'm in the process of retireing so it's an exciting time! RUSTOLEAM CO owns the paints but man there been around since I started modeling in 1968! I just need to use my airbrush more. Hope you folks a doing good? Give a scratch to the kitty for me!
"The kit itself seems to be very similar to Viribus Unitis which I have built some months ago" Duh... Both ships were Tegetthoff class dreadnoughts. They are all the same apart from some minor details, I'd say they are 95% identical. The Tegetthoff class had four ships: SMS Tegetthoff, SMS Prinz Eugen, SMS Viribus Unitis and SMS Szent István. So if you get a kit of each, it's like getting 4 kits of just one of them. The biggest difference will be the name tag. It's like saying that Bismarck and Tirpitz look similar. :D
I know, it was a reference to the kit design. sometimes, they change parts, eg make a two part hull, or one part hull, in this case it is the same base kit with minor changes. The ships in reality, it is obvious that they are of the same class and therefore similar
Hi Jean-Paul, i just looked at some photos of her, and you are absolutely right, there are never torpedo nets or poles attached on the side of the ship! I just followed instructions there without too much bothering checking references. So it seems Trumpeter would have had to have made another hull and they probably wanted to recycle this one. Or one had to fill all the holes and risk sanding detail away
@@funinscale2892 I do not think it is the case. Szent Istvan had a different propulsion system that her 3 sisters, with only 2 propellers and shafts, which the kit portrays accurately. So the hull is specific to that ship (unless the kit of Viribus Unitis would be wrong and have a hull with only 2 shafts instead of the 4 it shoudl have). The rest of the kit also seems to portray quite accurately Szent istvan as built. Sad that Trumpeter does not show more care than that, really.
@@jpbweb2023 Oh true, thanks for the information, its very interesting to question what model kit makers deliver sometimes. Very impressive that you recognized that!
WHAT'S WITH THE COUNTRY-WESTERN MUSIC NEAR THE END?!!!-AN AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN MARCH (LIKE THE "RADETSKY") OR A GRAND, POWERFUL WALTZ (LIKE BY EITHER OF THE STRAUSS'S) WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE FOR THE SUBJECT!!!

Outstanding work, really like the older ww 1 and before era ships.
Cool model.
Handsome ship.
Nicely done.

Thanks for the video mate. These older battleships have an old school character .
Nicely done love the dreadnaut series of ships
This is so cool. There is an older lady at my church whose father was an officer in the Austro-Hungarian Navy.
Peach of a kit put together with great skill.
That was a absolutely fantastic build sir, many thanks for sharing, I hope you are keeping safe and well.
Thanks Les! Best regards to australia, hope you're fine!
Very enjoyable, thanks for sharing another build with us.
Looks like the kit builds up nicely.
Excellent ! Viribuses are the most beautiful battleships of the First World War :)
Thanks very much! I like them very much too, a cool class of ships!
They have a sexy plump hull shape!
I just finished the trumpeter 1/350 HMS Hood . I used a teak planking on the deck instead of paint and really liked the effect . Good video . Thank you for sharing
Thanks Dwayne! I have also tried wooden decks for model ships, but i dont particularly like the look of them, i like painted decks a little more
Just finished dinner and watched this while having dessert , nice job. The detail work is impressive. Thanks for your time and work in posting your videos........

Its always a pleasure to see your work👍
What a beauty sir. Well done. Cheers 🍻
I'm working on a SMS Konig right now when I painted the deck with Tamiya deck tan I used their brown panel liner to a really nice effect
Another enjoyable build video She is an interesting ship to look at I could be tempted at some point
Awesome OBB build!
Amazing build as always
I just finished a small italian destroyer and am now working on the airfix avro Lancaster from the battle of britain kit
It was a scratch built model from clay
Lol Carpet Monster. I know him all too well! Great video btw ;)
Great video, thanks. May I ask where you purchased the model?
Mega geil 👍
Great job do you find bending the steps on the stairs easy 👍
Nice work!! I paint the deck from hand after paintig it in gray with airbrush. So are the sides of the details also gray. And the handpaint of the deck is covered with the weatheringsteps.
Thats a good idea! With wet on wet, we could also enhance the base coat of the wood deck with different brown colours
great job ! i work on the viribus unitis with "to much eduard parts" lol

Nice.. note. Warships do not carry lifeboats… these are the ships boats… used when away from a dock
What green did you use for the hull? Also was the photo etch about the same as her sister ship you built a little while ago?
